+replace \- a string\-replacement utility

+\fBreplace \fR\fB\fIarguments\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBreplace\fR
+utility program changes strings in place in files or on the standard input.
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBreplace\fR
+in one of the following ways:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBreplace \fR\fB\fIfrom\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIto\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fIfrom\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIto\fR\fR\fB] ... \-\- \fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fB] ...\fR
+shell> \fBreplace \fR\fB\fIfrom\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIto\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fIfrom\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIto\fR\fR\fB] ... < \fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIfrom\fR
+represents a string to look for and
+\fIto\fR
+represents its replacement. There can be one or more pairs of strings.
+.PP
+Use the
+\fB\-\-\fR
+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.
+\fIreplace\fR
+prints a message indicating which of the input files it actually modifies.
+.PP
+If the
+\fB\-\-\fR
+option is not given,
+\fBreplace\fR
+reads the standard input and writes to the standard output.
+.PP
+\fBreplace\fR
+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,
+\fIfile1\fR
+and
+\fIfile2\fR:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBreplace a b b a \-\- file1 file2 ...\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fBreplace\fR
+program is used by
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR. See
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR(1).
+.PP
+\fBreplace\fR
+supports the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-?\fR,
+\fB\-I\fR
+.sp
+Display a help message and exit.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-#\fR\fB\fIdebug_options\fR\fR
+.sp
+Enable debugging.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-s\fR
+.sp
+Silent mode. Print less information what the program does.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-v\fR
+.sp
+Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-V\fR
