     NAME
	  tr - translate characters

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

     HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
	  Level:    HP-UX/STANDARD

	  Origin:   System V

     DESCRIPTION
	  Tr copies the standard input to  the	standard  output  with
	  substitution	or  deletion  of  selected  characters.	 Input
	  characters  found   in   string1   are   mapped   into   the
	  corresponding characters of string2.	Any combination of the
	  options -cds may be used:

	  -c	  Complements the set of characters  in	 string1  with
		  respect  to  the  universe of characters whose ASCII
		  codes are 001 through 377 octal.

	  -d	  Deletes all input characters in string1.

	  -s	  Squeezes all strings of repeated  output  characters
		  that are in string2 to single characters.

	  The  following  abbreviation	conventions  may  be  used  to
	  introduce  ranges  of characters or repeated characters into
	  the strings:

	  [a-z]	  Stands for the  string  of  characters  whose	 ASCII
		  codes	  run	from   character  a  to	 character  z,
		  inclusive.

	  [a*n]	  Stands for n repetitions of a.  If the  first	 digit
		  of  n	 is  0, n is considered octal; otherwise, n is
		  taken to be decimal.	A zero or missing n  is	 taken
		  to  be  huge;	 this  facility	 is useful for padding
		  string2.

	  The escape character \ may be used as in the shell to remove
	  special   meaning  from  any	character  in  a  string.   In
	  addition, \ followed by 1, 2, or 3 octal digits  stands  for
	  the character whose ASCII code is given by those digits.

     EXAMPLE
	  The following creates a list of all the words in  file1  one
	  per  line  in	 file2,	 where a word is taken to be a maximal
	  string of alphabetics.  The strings are  quoted  to  protect
	  the special characters from interpretation by the shell; 012
	  is the ASCII code for newline.
		  tr -cs "[A-Z][a-z]" "[\012*]" <file1 >file2

     SEE ALSO
	  ed(1), sh(1), ascii(7).

     BUGS
	  Will not handle ASCII NUL  in	 string1  or  string2;	always
	  deletes NUL from input.
