tr(1) (MLX Addendum)               (MLX)               tr(1) (MLX Addendum)

NAME
     tr - translate characters (MLX addendum)

SYNOPSIS
     tr [ -cds ] [ string1 [ string2 ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     (International Functions)

     tr can process characters from supplementary code sets. Characters
     specified are searched for and translated in character units, not
     bytes.

     The abbreviation convention [x-y] denotes the string of characters
     whose codes range from x to y in code set order. x and y must be from
     the same code set, and x must be less than y.

NOTE
     If x and y are not from the same code set [x-y] is treated as the
     two-character string xy. If x and y are from the same code set but are
     not in increasing code set order (x is greater than y) then the range
     is invalid, and tr will exit with the error message Bad string.

WARNING
     When octal notation with the backslash (\) escape character is used to
     describe a multibyte character from a supplementary code set, each
     byte of the character must be separately escaped and specified in
     octal.
