38 /* The implementation provided here emulates the needed functionality
39 by mapping to the POSIX regular expression matcher. The interface
40 for the here included function is weird (this really is a harmless
41 word).
43 The user has to provide six macros before this header file can be
44 included:
46 INIT Declarations vor variables which can be used by the
47 other macros.
49 GETC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
50 expression pattern. Successive calls should return
51 successive characters.
53 PEEKC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
54 expression pattern. Immediately successive calls to
55 PEEKC() should return the same character which should
56 also be the next character returned by GETC().
58 UNGETC(c) Cause `c' to be returned by the next call to GETC() and
59 PEEKC().
61 RETURN(ptr) Used for normal exit of the `compile' function. `ptr'
62 is a pointer to the character after the last character of
63 the compiled regular expression.
65 ERROR(val) Used for abnormal return from `compile'. `val' is the
66 error number. The error codes are:
67 11 Range endpoint too large.
68 16 Bad number.
69 25 \digit out of range.
70 36 Illegal or missing delimiter.
71 41 No remembered search string.
72 42 \( \) imbalance.
73 43 Too many \(.
74 44 More tan two numbers given in \{ \}.
75 45 } expected after \.
76 46 First number exceeds second in \{ \}.
77 49 [ ] imbalance.
78 50 Regular expression overflow.
