# 205146 14-Mar-2010 ed

Trim down libcompat by removing <regexp.h>.

Erwin ran an exp-run with libcompat and <regexp.h> removed. It turns out
the regexp library is almost entirely unused. In fact, it looks like it
is sometimes used by accident. Because these function names clash with
libc's <regex.h>, some application use both <regex.h> and libcompat,
which means they link against the wrong regex library.

This commit removes the regexp library and reimplements re_comp() and
re_exec() using <regex.h>. It seems the grammar of the regular
expressions accepted by these functions is similar to POSIX EREs.

After this commit, 1 low-profile port will be broken, but the maintainer
already has a patch for it sitting in his mailbox.

Remove text saying "this is available from the compatibility library,
libcompat" in favour of a .Sh LIBRARY section using the .Lb macro. Also add
.Bf -symbolic around the text saying "this is obsolete" in re_comp.3.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 48794 12-Jul-1999 nik

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
