+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS Compilation
+.BR regcomp ()
+is used to compile a regular expression into a form that is suitable
+for subsequent
+.BR regexec ()
+searches.
+.PP
+On success, the pattern buffer at
+.I *preg
+is initialized.
+.I regex
+is a null-terminated string.
+The locale must be the same when running
+.BR regexec ().
+.PP
+After
+.BR regcomp ()
+succeeds,
+.I preg->re_nsub
+holds the number of subexpressions in
+.IR regex .
+Thus, a value of
+.I preg->re_nsub
++ 1
+passed as
+.I nmatch
+to
+.BR regexec ()
+is sufficient to capture all matches.
+.PP
+.I cflags
+is the
+bitwise OR
+of zero or more of the following:
+.TP
+.B REG_EXTENDED
+Use
+POSIX
+Extended Regular Expression syntax when interpreting
+.IR regex .
+If not set,
+POSIX
+Basic Regular Expression syntax is used.
+.TP
+.B REG_ICASE
+Do not differentiate case.
+Subsequent
+.BR regexec ()
+searches using this pattern buffer will be case insensitive.
+.TP
+.B REG_NOSUB
+Report only overall success.
+.BR regexec ()
+will use only
+.I pmatch
+for
+.BR REG_STARTEND ,
+ignoring
+.IR nmatch .
+.TP
+.B REG_NEWLINE
+Match-any-character operators don't match a newline.
+.IP
+A nonmatching list
+.RB ( [\[ha]...\&] )
+not containing a newline does not match a newline.
+.IP
+Match-beginning-of-line operator
+.RB ( \[ha] )
+matches the empty string immediately after a newline, regardless of
+whether
+.IR eflags ,
+the execution flags of
+.BR regexec (),
+contains
+.BR REG_NOTBOL .
+.IP
+Match-end-of-line operator
+.RB ( $ )
+matches the empty string immediately before a newline, regardless of
+whether
+.I eflags
+contains
+.BR REG_NOTEOL .
+.SS Matching
+.BR regexec ()
+is used to match a null-terminated string
+against the compiled pattern buffer in
+.IR *preg ,
+which must have been initialised with
+.BR regexec ().
+.I eflags
+is the
+bitwise OR
+of zero or more of the following flags:
+.TP
+.B REG_NOTBOL
+The match-beginning-of-line operator always fails to match (but see the
+compilation flag
+.B REG_NEWLINE
+above).
+This flag may be used when different portions of a string are passed to
+.BR regexec ()
+and the beginning of the string should not be interpreted as the
+beginning of the line.
+.TP
+.B REG_NOTEOL
+The match-end-of-line operator always fails to match (but see the
+compilation flag
+.B REG_NEWLINE
+above).
+.TP
+.B REG_STARTEND
+Match
+.RI [ "string + pmatch[0].rm_so" , " string + pmatch[0].rm_eo" )
+instead of
+.RI [ string , " string + strlen(string)" ).
+This allows matching embedded NUL bytes
+and avoids a
+.BR strlen (3)
+on known-length strings.
+If any matches are returned
+.RB ( REG_NOSUB
+wasn't passed to
+.BR regcomp (),
+the match succeeded, and
+.I nmatch
+> 0), they overwrite
+.I pmatch
+as usual, and the match offsets remain relative to
+.I string
+(not
+.IR "string + pmatch[0].rm_so" ).
+This flag is a BSD extension, not present in POSIX.
+.SS Match offsets
+Unless
+.B REG_NOSUB
+was passed to
+.BR regcomp (),
+it is possible to
+obtain the locations of matches within
+.IR string :
+.BR regexec ()
+fills
+.I nmatch
+elements of
+.I pmatch
+with results:
+.I pmatch[0]
+corresponds to the entire match,
+.I pmatch[1]
+to the first subexpression, etc.
+If there were more matches than
+.IR nmatch ,
+they are discarded;
+if fewer,
+unused elements of
+.I pmatch
+are filled with
+.BR \-1 s.
+.PP
+Each returned valid
+.RB (non- \-1 )
+match corresponds to the range
+.RI [ "string + rm_so" , " string + rm_eo" ).
+.PP
+.I regoff_t
+is a signed integer type
+capable of storing the largest value that can be stored in either an
+.I ptrdiff_t
+type or a
+.I ssize_t
+type.
+.SS Error reporting
+.BR regerror ()
+is used to turn the error codes that can be returned by both
+.BR regcomp ()
+and
+.BR regexec ()
+into error message strings.
+.PP
+If
+.I preg
+isn't a null pointer,
+.I errcode
+must be the latest error returned from an operation on
+.IR preg .
+.PP
+If
+.I errbuf_size
+isn't 0, up to
+.I errbuf_size
+bytes are copied to
+.IR errbuf ;
+the error string is always null-terminated, and truncated to fit.
+.SS Freeing
+.BR regfree ()
+deinitializes the pattern buffer at
+.IR *preg ,
+freeing any associated memory;
+.I *preg
+must have been initialized via
+.BR regcomp ().
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR regcomp ()
+returns zero for a successful compilation or an error code for failure.
+.PP
+.BR regexec ()
+returns zero for a successful match or
+.B REG_NOMATCH
+for failure.
+.PP
+.BR regerror ()
+returns the size of the buffer required to hold the string.
+.SH ERRORS
+The following errors can be returned by
+.BR regcomp ():
+.TP
+.B REG_BADBR
+Invalid use of back reference operator.
+.TP
+.B REG_BADPAT
+Invalid use of pattern operators such as group or list.
+.TP
+.B REG_BADRPT
+Invalid use of repetition operators such as using \[aq]*\[aq]
+as the first character.
+.TP
+.B REG_EBRACE
+Un-matched brace interval operators.
+.TP
+.B REG_EBRACK
+Un-matched bracket list operators.
+.TP
+.B REG_ECOLLATE
+Invalid collating element.
+.TP
+.B REG_ECTYPE
+Unknown character class name.
+.TP
+.B REG_EEND
+Nonspecific error.

+.TP
+.B REG_EESCAPE
+Trailing backslash.
+.TP
+.B REG_EPAREN
+Un-matched parenthesis group operators.
+.TP
+.B REG_ERANGE
+Invalid use of the range operator; for example, the ending point of the range
+occurs prior to the starting point.
+.TP
+.B REG_ESIZE
+Compiled regular expression requires a pattern buffer larger than 64\ kB.
+This is not defined by POSIX.
+.TP
+.B REG_ESPACE
+The regex routines ran out of memory.
+.TP
+.B REG_ESUBREG

+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001.
+.PP
+Prior to POSIX.1-2008,
+.I regoff_t
+was required to be
+capable of storing the largest value that can be stored in either an
+.I off_t
+type or a
+.I ssize_t
+type.
+.SH CAVEATS
+.I re_nsub
+is only required to be initialized if
+.B REG_NOSUB
+wasn't specified, but all known implementations initialize it regardless.
+.\" glibc, musl, 4.4BSD, illumos
+.PP
+Both
+.I regex_t
+and
+.I regmatch_t
+may (and do) have more members, in any order.
+Always reference them by name.
+.\" illumos has two more start/end pairs and the first one is of pointers
