| Description |
This provides ByteString instances for RegexMaker and RegexLike
based on Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap, and a (RegexContext Regex
ByteString ByteString) instance.
To use these instance, you would normally import
Text.Regex.Posix. You only need to import this module to use
the medium level API of the compile, regexec, and execute
functions. All of these report error by returning Left values
instead of undefined or error or fail.
The ByteString will only be passed to the library efficiently (as a
pointer) if it ends in a NUL byte. Otherwise a temporary copy must
be made with the 0 byte appended.

ReturnCode is an enumerated CInt, corresponding to the error codes
from man 3 regex:
- retBadbr (REG_BADBR) invalid repetition count(s) in { }
- retBadpat (REG_BADPAT) invalid regular expression
- retBadrpt (REG_BADRPT) ?, *, or + operand invalid
- retEcollate (REG_ECOLLATE) invalid collating element
- retEctype (REG_ECTYPE) invalid character class
- retEescape (REG_EESCAPE) \ applied to unescapable character
- retEsubreg (REG_ESUBREG) invalid backreference number
- retEbrack (REG_EBRACK) brackets [ ] not balanced
- retEparen (REG_EPAREN) parentheses ( ) not balanced
- retEbrace (REG_EBRACE) braces { } not balanced
- retErange (REG_ERANGE) invalid character range in [ ]
- retEspace (REG_ESPACE) ran out of memory
- retNoMatch (REG_NOMATCH) The regexec() function failed to match

| The return code will be retOk when it is the Haskell wrapper and
not the underlying library generating the error message.

| :: Regex | Compiled regular expression
| | -> ByteString | String to match against
| | -> IO (Either WrapError (Maybe (Array Int (MatchOffset, MatchLength)))) | Returns: Nothing if the regex did not match the
string, or:
Just an array of (offset,length) pairs where index 0 is whole match, and the rest are the captured subexpressions.
| Matches a regular expression against a buffer, returning the buffer
indicies of the match, and any submatches
| Matches a regular expression against a string

|
| Compilation options
|
|
|
A bitmapped CInt containing options for compilation of regular
expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regcomp names) are
- compBlank which is a completely zero value for all the flags.
This is also the blankCompOpt value.
- compExtended (REG_EXTENDED) which can be set to use extended instead
of basic regular expressions.
This is set in the defaultCompOpt value.
- compNewline (REG_NEWLINE) turns on newline sensitivity: The dot (.)
and inverted set [^ ] never match newline, and ^ and $ anchors do
match after and before newlines.
This is set in the defaultCompOpt value.
- compIgnoreCase (REG_ICASE) which can be set to match ignoring upper
and lower distinctions.
- compNoSub (REG_NOSUB) which turns off all information from matching
except whether a match exists.

| Execution options
|
|
|
A bitmapped CInt containing options for execution of compiled
regular expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regexec names) are
- execBlank which is a complete zero value for all the flags. This is
the blankExecOpt value.
- execNotBOL (REG_NOTBOL) can be set to prevent ^ from matching at the
start of the input.
- execNotEOL (REG_NOTEOL) can be set to prevent $ from matching at the
end of the input (before the terminating NUL).
