Regular expression pattern matching using Perl 5 syntax and semantics.
copied from cf-staging / pcre2-staticThe 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.
