NAME
     regcmp - regular expression compile (MLX addendum)

SYNOPSIS
     regcmp [-] files

DESCRIPTION
     (International Functions)

     regcmp compiles regular expressions based on characters, not bytes, as
     regcmp(3G) does. Regular expressions in the file can include charac-
     ters from supplementary code sets.

     .    Matches any character from any supplementary code set.

     *    Matches zero or more occurrences of the given regular expression.

     .*   Matches any character string, including those containing charac-
          ters from supplementary code sets, or the null string.

     [ ]  Matches any one character in the string enclosed by square brack-
          ets, or any one character with a code value within a range desig-
          nated using a minus () sign. When the characters in the range are
          from different code sets, the range is ignored, however either of
          the characters specifying the range bounds will match.

     [^ ] Matches any one character not in the string enclosed by square
          brackets and not within any ranges designated using a minus ()
          sign. When the characters in a range are from different code
          sets, the range is ignored, however neither of the characters
          specifying the range bounds will match.
