+NAME
+ expr - evaluate expressions
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ expr EXPRESSION
+ expr OPTION
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ --help display this help and exit
+
+ --version
+ output version information and exit
+
+ Print the value of EXPRESSION to standard output. A
+ blank line below separates increasing precedence groups.
+ EXPRESSION may be:
+
+ ARG1 | ARG2
+ ARG1 if it is neither null nor 0, otherwise ARG2
+
+ ARG1 & ARG2
+ ARG1 if neither argument is null or 0, otherwise
+ 0
+
+ ARG1 < ARG2
+ ARG1 is less than ARG2
+
+ ARG1 <= ARG2
+ ARG1 is less than or equal to ARG2
+
+ ARG1 = ARG2
+ ARG1 is equal to ARG2
+
+ ARG1 != ARG2
+ ARG1 is unequal to ARG2
+
+ ARG1 >= ARG2
+ ARG1 is greater than or equal to ARG2
+
+ ARG1 > ARG2
+ ARG1 is greater than ARG2
+
+ ARG1 + ARG2
+ arithmetic sum of ARG1 and ARG2
+
+ ARG1 - ARG2
+ arithmetic difference of ARG1 and ARG2
+
+ ARG1 * ARG2
+ arithmetic product of ARG1 and ARG2
+
+ ARG1 / ARG2
+ arithmetic quotient of ARG1 divided by ARG2
+
+ ARG1 % ARG2
+ arithmetic remainder of ARG1 divided by ARG2
+
+ STRING : REGEXP
+ anchored pattern match of REGEXP in STRING
+
+ match STRING REGEXP
+ same as STRING : REGEXP
+
+ substr STRING POS LENGTH
+ substring of STRING, POS counted from 1
+
+ index STRING CHARS
+ index in STRING where any CHARS is found, or 0
+
+ length STRING
+ length of STRING
+
+ + TOKEN
+ interpret TOKEN as a string, even if it is a
+
+ keyword like `match' or an operator like `/'
+
+ ( EXPRESSION )
+ value of EXPRESSION
+
+ Beware that many operators need to be escaped or quoted
+ for shells. Comparisons are arithmetic if both ARGs are
+ numbers, else lexicographical. Pattern matches return
+ the string matched between \( and \) or null; if \( and
+ \) are not used, they return the number of characters
+ matched or 0.
+
+ Exit status is 0 if EXPRESSION is neither null nor 0, 1
+ if EXPRESSION is null or 0, 2 if EXPRESSION is syntacti-
+ cally invalid, and 3 if an error occurred.
