NAME
       replace - a string-replacement utility
SYNOPSIS
       replace arguments
DESCRIPTION
       The replace utility program changes strings in place in files or on the
       standard input.
       Invoke replace in one of the following ways:
           shell> replace from to [from to] ... -- file_name [file_name] ...
           shell> replace from to [from to] ... < file_name
       from represents a string to look for and to represents its replacement.
       There can be one or more pairs of strings.
       Use the -- option to indicate where the string-replacement list ends
       and the file names begin. In this case, any file named on the command
       line is modified in place, so you may want to make a copy of the
       original before converting it.  replace prints a message indicating
       which of the input files it actually modifies.
       If the -- option is not given, replace reads the standard input and
       writes to the standard output.
       replace uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. It
       can be used to swap strings. For example, the following command swaps a
       and b in the given files, file1 and file2:
           shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
       The replace program is used by msql2mysql. See msql2mysql(1).
       replace supports the following options.
       o   -?, -I
           Display a help message and exit.
       o   -#debug_options
           Enable debugging.
       o   -s
           Silent mode. Print less information what the program does.
       o   -v
           Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
       o   -V
           Display version information and exit.
