The functions described here are just wrapper functions that ultimately call |

|
the native API. Their prototypes are defined in the \fBpcreposix.h\fR header |

|
file, and on Unix systems the library itself is called \fBpcreposix.a\fR, so |
35 |
|
can be accessed by adding \fB-lpcreposix\fR to the command for linking an |
36 |
|
application which uses them. Because the POSIX functions call the native ones, |
37 |
|
it is also necessary to add \fR-lpcre\fR. |
