     10 // This file implements a POSIX regular expression matcher.  Both Basic and
     11 // Extended POSIX regular expressions (ERE) are supported.  EREs were extended
     12 // to support backreferences in matches.
     13 // This implementation also supports matching strings with embedded NUL chars.
