Summary     : Perl-compatible regular expression library

Description :

PCRE, Perl-compatible regular expression, library has its own native API, but

a set of wrapper functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied

in the libpcreposix library. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling

interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax

and semantics. Detailed change log is provided by pcre-doc package.
