PROGRAM:

NAME


rrep - replace patterns in files.

SYNOPSIS


rrep [OPTIONS] PATTERN REPLACEMENT [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION


The rrep utility searches input FILEs for matches to a given PATTERN and replaces those
matches by a given REPLACEMENT. The pattern is, by default, a basic regular expression.
The replacement string may contain special characters to refer to portions of the matched
pattern.

Binary files are, by default, ignored. A file is regarded as binary if it contains the
null character.

OPTIONS


-E, --extended-regexp
PATTERN is interpreted as an extended regular expression (ERE).

-F, --fixed-strings
PATTERN and REPLACEMENT are interpreted as fixed strings, not as regular
expressions or escape sequences.

-R, -r, --recursive
Each directory that is given on the command line is processed recursively. Files
and sub-directories starting with the . character are, by default, ignored.

--include=FILE_PATTERN
Only files are processed that match the pattern FILE_PATTERN, except for files that
are specifically given on the command line. *, ?, and [...] can be used as
wildcards in FILE_PATTERN. Wildcards and backslash characters can be quoted with
.

--exclude=FILE_PATTERN
Files that match the pattern FILE_PATTERN will be skipped, except for files that
are specifically given on the command line (using wildcard matching as described
under --include).

--exclude-dir=PATTERN
Directories that match PATTERN will be skipped, except for files that are
specifically given on the command line (using wildcard matching as described under
--include).

-V, --version
Print the version number of rrep.

-S SUFFIX, --suffix=SUFFIX
Override default backup suffix. This option implicitly activates backups.

-a, --all
Files and sub-directories starting with the . character in recursively processed
directories (see --recursive) are processed as well.

-b Backup before overwriting files. The backup files are written into the directory
of the original file. Equivalent to using --backup=existing.

--backup[=CONTROL]
Like -b but accepts a version control argument. The file name of the backup file
is appended by a ~ character. The backup suffix is ~, unless set with --suffix or
SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via the --backup
option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off never make backups
(even if --backup is given)
numbered, t make numbered backups
existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple
otherwise
simple, never always make simple backups

--binary
Do not ignore binary files. A file is regarded as binary if it contains the null
character \0.

--dry-run
The replacement is just simulated. No file is actually modified.

-e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
Use PATTERN for matching. This option can be used to specify a pattern beginning
with -.

-h, --help
Display a help message that descibes the command line options and exit afterwards.

-i, --ignore-case
Case distinctions in PATTERN are ignored.

--keep-times
The original access and modification times of files and directories are restored
after processing.

-p REPLACEMENT, --replace-with=REPLACEMENT
Use REPLACEMENT for substitution.

--interactive
Each time before a file is modified the user is prompted and can cancel the
modification.

-q, --quiet, --silent
All normal output messages are suppressed.

-s, --no-messages
All error messages are suppressed.

-w, --word-regexp
Only those matches of PATTERN are replaced that match whole words.

-x, --line-regexp
Only those matches of PATTERN are replaced that match whole lines.

EXIT STATUS


Exit status is 1 if any error occurs, 0 otherwise.
