  22. .IR string2 .
  23. When
  24. .I string2
  25. is short it is padded to the length of
  26. .I string1
  27. by duplicating its last character.
  28. Any combination of the options

  31. .TP
  32. .B -c

  47. In either string a noninitial sequence
  48. .BI - x\f1,
  49. where
  50. .I x
  51. is any character (possibly quoted), stands for
  52. a range of characters:
  53. a possibly empty sequence of codes running from
  54. the successor of the previous code up through
  55. the code for
  56. .IR x .
  57. The character
  58. .L \e
  59. followed by 1, 2 or 3 octal digits stands for the
  60. character whose
  61. 16-bit
  62. value is given by those digits.
  63. The character sequence
  64. .L \ex
  65. followed by 1, 2, 3, or 4 hexadecimal digits stands
  66. for the character whose
  67. 16-bit value is given by those digits.
