- Regular expressions are not covered by POSIX.1.
-
- POSIX.2 includes a C binding to regular expression facilities using the
- functions regcomp(), regexec(), regerror() and regfree().
-
- Solaris 2.x is claimed to be compliant with POSIX.1; it is probably a
- little early for anyone to be claiming compliance with dot-2 since
- dot-2 has only recently been approved (I don't think it has even made
- through the printers yet).
