\modulesynopsis{Perl-style regular expression search and match
operations.}
This module provides regular expression matching operations similar to
those found in Perl. It's 8-bit clean: the strings being processed
may contain both null bytes and characters whose high bit is set. Regular
expression patterns may not contain null bytes, but they may contain
characters with the high bit set. The \module{re} module is always
available.
expression pattern strings may not contain null bytes, but can specify
the null byte using the \code{\e\var{number}} notation.
Characters with the high bit set may be included. The \module{re}
module is always available.
Regular expressions use the backslash character (\character{\e}) to
indicate special forms or to allow special characters to be used
