regex.h, regex - regular expression matching types

#include <regex.h>

The <regex.h> header defines the structures and symbolic constants used by the regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(), and regfree() functions. See regcomp(3C).

The structure type regex_t contains the following member:

size_t re_nsub number of parenthesized subexpressions

The type size_t is defined as described in <sys/types.h>. See types.h(3HEAD).

The type regoff_t is defined as a signed integer type that can hold the largest value that can be stored in either a type off_t or type ssize_t. The structure type regmatch_t contains the following members:

regoff_t rm_so byte offset from start of string to start
 of substring
regoff_t rm_eo byte offset from start of string of the
 first character after the end of substring

Values for the cflags parameter to the regcomp function are as follows: REG_EXTENDED

REG_ICASE REG_NOSUB REG_NEWLINE

Values for the eflags parameter to the regexec() function are as follows: REG_NOTBOL

REG_NOTEOL

The following constants are defined as error return values: REG_NOMATCH

REG_BADPAT REG_ECOLLATE REG_ECTYPE REG_EESCAPE REG_ESUBREG REG_EBRACK REG_EPAREN REG_EBRACE REG_BADBR REG_ERANGE REG_ESPACE REG_BADRPT REG_ENOSYS
