filters operate.  Through text based translation tables, it is possible
     to tune how these character sets are interpreted.

SYNTAX

     The format of the translation tables is simple.  There are two levels:
     one containing meta data and one containing the actual translations.

     default _
         Default specifies the default translation for a character.  An empty
         or nonexistent default indicates that any unknown character should
         fall through to the next filter.  In this manner, it is possible to
         chain together multiple translation tables in a sequence.

     start
         Indicates the start of the value list within the translation table.

     end
         Indicates the end of the value list within the translation table.

     value translation
         Value can be specified in decimal (1), hex (0x01) or octal (01).  The
         same rules that apply to sscanf apply here.

         Translation can be a string or a quoted string, with either single or
         double quotes.

EXAMPLE

     default   _
     start
     0x0101    a
     0x0102    b
     end
