.TH TRS 1df "May 2017" "Manual page for trs" .SH NAME .B trs \- string version of tr(1) .SH SYNOPSIS .B trs STRING REPLACEMENT < file .br program | .B trs STRING REPLACEMENT .SH DESCRIPTION .B trs replaces the string given in its first argument with the string given in its second, with no regex metacharacters, in a way that should work on all POSIX implementations. It is thereby the string complement for tr(1). .P The first argument cannot be a null string. The second argument can be blank (but must still be specified) to implicitly delete all occurrences of the string. .SH AUTHOR Tom Ryder
