Description Nick Hibma 2006-03-28 08:10:16 UTC 
	The tr page contains the following fragment which does not make sense:

	     -C      Complement the set of characters in string1, that is ``-C ab''
		     includes every character except for `a' and `b'.

	     -c      Same as -C but complement the set of values in string1.

string1 should probably be string2 for '-c' option.

Tim J. Robbins has done a lot of work on tr(1).  He probably 
knows what the best thing to do would be. 

Tim, does the proposed change look correct to you?

No, the manpage is correct. -C stands for complement of characters (rest of the 
alphabets), -c stands for complement of values (rest of the ASCII table).
