.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility evaluates
|
||||
evaluates
|
||||
.Ar expression
|
||||
and writes the result on standard output.
|
||||
All operators are separate arguments to the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility.
|
||||
Characters special to the command interpreter must be escaped.
|
||||
and writes the result to stdout.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Operators are listed below in order of increasing precedence.
|
||||
Operators with equal precedence are grouped within { } symbols.
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 | expr2
|
||||
Returns the evaluation of
|
||||
.Ar expr1
|
||||
if it is neither an empty string nor zero;
|
||||
otherwise, returns the evaluation of
|
||||
.Ar expr2 .
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 Li & Ar expr2
|
||||
Returns the evaluation of
|
||||
.Ar expr1
|
||||
if neither expression evaluates to an empty string or zero;
|
||||
otherwise, returns zero.
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 Li "{=, >, >=, <, <=, !=}" Ar expr2
|
||||
Returns the results of integer comparison if both arguments are integers;
|
||||
otherwise, returns the results of string comparison using the locale-specific
|
||||
collation sequence.
|
||||
The result of each comparison is 1 if the specified relation is true,
|
||||
or 0 if the relation is false.
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 Li "{+, -}" Ar expr2
|
||||
Returns the results of addition or subtraction of integer-valued arguments.
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 Li "{*, /, %}" Ar expr2
|
||||
Returns the results of multiplication, integer division, or remainder of
|
||||
integer-valued arguments.
|
||||
.It Ar expr1 Li : Ar expr2
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ql \&:
|
||||
operator matches
|
||||
.Ar expr1
|
||||
There are two elemental expressions,
|
||||
.Sy integer
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy string.
|
||||
Let
|
||||
.Sy expr
|
||||
be a non-elemental expression and
|
||||
.Sy expr1 ,
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
arbitrary expressions. Then
|
||||
.Sy expr
|
||||
has the recursive form
|
||||
.Sy expr = [(] expr1 operand expr2 [)].
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
With
|
||||
.Sy operand
|
||||
being in oder of increasing precedence:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||||
.It |
|
||||
Evaluate to
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
if it is neither an empty string nor 0; otherwise evaluate to
|
||||
.Sy expr2 .
|
||||
.It &
|
||||
Evaluate to
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
if
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
are neither empty strings nor 0; otherwise evaluate to 0.
|
||||
.It = > >= < <= !=
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
are integers, evaluate to 1 if the relation is true and 0 if it is false.
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
are strings, apply the relation to the return value of
|
||||
.Xr strcmp 3 .
|
||||
.It + -
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
are integers, evaluate to their sum or subtraction.
|
||||
.It * / %
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Sy expr2
|
||||
are integers, evaluate to their mulitplication, division or remainder.
|
||||
.It :
|
||||
Evaluate to the number of characters matched in
|
||||
.Sy expr1
|
||||
against
|
||||
.Ar expr2 ,
|
||||
which must be a basic regular expression.
|
||||
The regular expression is anchored
|
||||
to the beginning of the string with an implicit
|
||||
.Ql ^ .
|
||||
.Sy expr2 . expr2
|
||||
is anchored with an implicit '^'.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the match succeeds and the pattern contains at least one regular
|
||||
expression subexpression
|
||||
.Dq "\e(...\e)" ,
|
||||
the string corresponding to
|
||||
.Dq "\e1"
|
||||
is returned;
|
||||
otherwise, the matching operator returns the number of characters matched.
|
||||
If the match fails and the pattern contains a regular expression subexpression
|
||||
the null string is returned;
|
||||
otherwise, returns 0.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Note: the empty string cannot be matched using
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
expr '' : '$'
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
This is because the returned number of matched characters
|
||||
.Pq zero
|
||||
is indistinguishable from a failed match, so
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
returns failure
|
||||
.Pq 0 .
|
||||
To match the empty string, use a structure such as:
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
expr X'' : 'X$'
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
You can't directly match the empty string, since zero matched characters
|
||||
resolve equally to a failed match. To work around this limitation, use "expr X'' : 'X$' instead of "expr '' : '$'"
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Parentheses are used for grouping in the usual manner.
|
||||
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
||||

|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility exits with one of the following values:

.Sh STANDARDS
|

The
|

||||
.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility first appeared in the Programmer's Workbench (PWB/UNIX)
|
||||
and has supported regular expressions since
|
||||
.At v7 .
|
||||
It was rewritten from scratch for
|
||||
.Bx 386 0.1
|
||||
and again for
|
||||
.Nx 1.1 .
