 8.13 The `replace' String-Replacement Utility
 =============================================
 
 The `replace' utility program changes strings in place in files or on
 the standard input. It 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 ...
 
 Use the `--' option to indicate where the string-replacement list ends
 and the filenames begin.
 
 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.
 
 If no files are named on the command line, `replace' reads the standard
 input and writes to the standard output.  In this case, no `--' option
 is needed.
 
 The `replace' program is used by `msql2mysql'.   `msql2mysql'
 msql2mysql.
 
 `replace' supports the following options:
 
 `-?, -I'
      Display a help message and exit.
 
 `-# DEBUG_OPTIONS'
      Write a debugging log. The `DEBUG_OPTIONS' string often is
      `'d:t:o,FILE_NAME''.
 
 `-s'
      Silent mode.  Print out less information what the program does.
 
 `-v'
      Verbose mode.  Print out more information what the program does.
 
 `-V'
      Display version information and exit.
