# libpcre
|
|
|
|
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix.
|
|
Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics.
|
|
The header file for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.
|
|
The official POSIX name is regex.h, but I didn't want to risk possible problems with existing files of that name by distributing it that way.
|
|
To use it with an existing program that uses the POSIX API, it will have to be renamed or pointed at by a link.
