The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression
|
|
pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has
|
|
its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond
|
|
to the POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE library is free, even for
|
|
building proprietary software.
|
|
|
|
PCRE was originally written for the Exim MTA, but is now used by many
|
|
high-profile open source projects, including Apache, PHP, KDE, Postfix,
|
|
Analog, and Nmap. PCRE has also found its way into some well known
|
|
commercial products, like Apple Safari. Some other interesting projects
|
|
using PCRE include Chicken, Ferite, Onyx, Hypermail, Leafnode, Askemos,
|
|
Wenlin, and 8th."
