-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR re_comp ()

-is NULL,
-no operation is performed and the pattern buffer's contents are not
-altered.
-.P
-.BR re_exec ()
-is used to assess whether the null-terminated string pointed to by
-.I string
-matches the previously compiled
-.IR regex .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-.BR re_comp ()
-returns NULL on successful compilation of
-.I regex
-otherwise it returns a pointer to an appropriate error message.
