regcmp(3X) regcmp(3X)

(TO BE OBSOLETED)

char *cursor, *newcursor, *ptr;

...

newcursor = regex((ptr = regcmp("ˆ\n", 0)), cursor);

free(ptr);

Match through the string Testing3 and return the address of the character after the last matched char-

acter (cursor+11). The string Testing3 will be copied to the character array

ret0.

char ret0[9];

char ∗newcursor, *name;

...

name = regcmp("([A -Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]{0,7})$0", 0);

newcursor = regex(name, "123Testing321", ret0);

WARNINGS

User programs that use regcmp() might run out of memory if

regcmp() is called iteratively without

freeing vectors that are no longer required.

Obsolescent Interfaces

regcmp() and regex() are to be obsoleted at a future date.
