       The replace utility program changes strings in place in files or on the standard input.

       Invoke replace in one of the following ways:

           shell> replacefromto[fromto]...--file_name[file_name]...
           shell> replacefromto[fromto]...<file_namefrom 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> replaceabba--file1file2...

       The replace program is used by msql2mysql. See msql2mysql(1).

       replace supports the following options.

       •   -?, -I

           Display a help message and exit.

       •   -#debug_options

           Enable debugging.

       •   -s

           Silent mode. Print less information what the program does.

       •   -v

           Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

       •   -V

           Display version information and exit.
