SYNOPSIS

       -s, --squeeze-repeats
              replace each sequence of a repeated character that is listed  in

       SETs are specified as strings  of  characters.   Most  represent  them-
       selves.  Interpreted sequences are:
       \NNN   character with octal value NNN (1 to 3 octal digits)
       \\     backslash
       \a     audible BEL
       \b     backspace
       \f     form feed
       \n     new line
       \r     return
       \t     horizontal tab
       \v     vertical tab
       CHAR1-CHAR2
              all characters from CHAR1 to CHAR2 in ascending order
       [CHAR*]
              in SET2, copies of CHAR until length of SET1
       [CHAR*REPEAT]
              REPEAT copies of CHAR, REPEAT octal if starting with 0
       [:alnum:]
              all letters and digits
       [:alpha:]
              all letters
       [:blank:]
              all horizontal whitespace
       [:cntrl:]
              all control characters
       [:digit:]
              all digits
       [:graph:]
              all printable characters, not including space
       [:lower:]
              all lower case letters
       [:print:]
              all printable characters, including space
       [:punct:]
              all punctuation characters
       [:space:]
              all horizontal or vertical whitespace
       [:upper:]
              all upper case letters
       [:xdigit:]
              all hexadecimal digits
       [=CHAR=]
              all characters which are equivalent to CHAR
       Translation  occurs  if  -d is not given and both SET1 and SET2 appear.
       -t may be used only when translating.  SET2 is extended  to  length  of
       SET1  by  repeating its last character as necessary.  Excess characters
       of SET2 are ignored.  Only [:lower:] and [:upper:]  are  guaranteed  to
       expand  in  ascending  order;  used in SET2 while translating, they may
       only be used in pairs to specify case conversion.   -s  uses  the  last
       specified SET, and occurs after translation or deletion.
