NAME

strtrexpand - expand tr-like notation in string

#include <publib.h>
void strtrexpand(char *tgt, const char *src);

strtrexpand will convert shorthand notation similar to that used by tr(1) into the equivalent longhand notation. The supported short forms are:

a-b: All characters from a to b, inclusive, in the order given by their character codes.
\a: The character a.
\o \oo \ooo: Character with octal code o, oo, or ooo, respectively.

strtrexpand returns nothing.
