regex.3
|
|
|
|
Reuben Thomas
|
|
|
|
Clarify details of matching
|
|
|
|
The first is that it's far from clear that the end points of the
|
|
|
|
complete string match are stored in the zero'th element of the
|
|
|
|
regmatch_t array; secondly, the phrase "next largest substring
|
|
|
|
match" is positively misleading, implying some sort of size
|
|
|
|
ordering, whereas in fact they are ordered according to their
|
|
|
|
appearance in the regex pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scanf.3
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
page to cover it and relegate the glibc-specific 'a' flag to
|
