Module documentation for 0.96.0.1

The POSIX regex backend for regex-base.

The main appeal of this backend is that it's very lightweight due to its reliance on the ubiquitous POSIX.2 regex facility that is provided by the standard C library on most POSIX platforms.

See also https://wiki.haskell.org/Regular_expressions for more information.
