- .SH NAME
- lreplace \- Replace elements in a list with new elements
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- \fBlreplace \fIlist first last \fR?\fIelement element ...\fR?
- .BE
-
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBLreplace\fR returns a new list formed by replacing one or more elements of
- \fIlist\fR with the \fIelement\fR arguments.
- \fIFirst\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the first element
- to be replaced.
- If \fIfirst\fR is less than zero then it refers to the first
- element of \fIlist\fR; the element indicated by \fIfirst\fR
- must exist in the list.
- \fILast\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the last element
- to be replaced; it must be greater than or equal to \fIfirst\fR.
- \fILast\fR may be \fBend\fR (or any abbreviation of it) to indicate
- that all elements between \fIfirst\fR and the end of the list should
- be replaced.
- The \fIelement\fR arguments specify zero or more new arguments to
- be added to the list in place of those that were deleted.
- Each \fIelement\fR argument will become a separate element of
- the list.
- If no \fIelement\fR arguments are specified, then the elements
- between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are simply deleted.
