+.SH NAME
+PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
+.SH "PCRE REGULAR EXPRESSION SYNTAX SUMMARY"
+.rs
+.sp
+The full syntax and semantics of the regular expressions that are supported by
+PCRE are described in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcrepattern\fP
+.\"
+documentation. This document contains a quick-reference summary of the syntax.
+.
+.
+.SH "QUOTING"
+.rs
+.sp
+  \ex         where x is non-alphanumeric is a literal x
+  \eQ...\eE    treat enclosed characters as literal
+.
+.
+.SH "CHARACTERS"
+.rs
+.sp
+  \ea         alarm, that is, the BEL character (hex 07)
+  \ecx        "control-x", where x is any ASCII character
+  \ee         escape (hex 1B)
+  \ef         form feed (hex 0C)
+  \en         newline (hex 0A)
+  \er         carriage return (hex 0D)
+  \et         tab (hex 09)
+  \e0dd       character with octal code 0dd
+  \eddd       character with octal code ddd, or backreference
+  \eo{ddd..}  character with octal code ddd..
+  \exhh       character with hex code hh
+  \ex{hhh..}  character with hex code hhh..
+.sp
+Note that \e0dd is always an octal code, and that \e8 and \e9 are the literal
+characters "8" and "9".
+.
+.
+.SH "CHARACTER TYPES"
+.rs
+.sp
+  .          any character except newline;
+               in dotall mode, any character whatsoever
+  \eC         one data unit, even in UTF mode (best avoided)
+  \ed         a decimal digit
+  \eD         a character that is not a decimal digit
+  \eh         a horizontal white space character
+  \eH         a character that is not a horizontal white space character
+  \eN         a character that is not a newline
+  \ep{\fIxx\fP}     a character with the \fIxx\fP property
+  \eP{\fIxx\fP}     a character without the \fIxx\fP property
+  \eR         a newline sequence
+  \es         a white space character
+  \eS         a character that is not a white space character
+  \ev         a vertical white space character
+  \eV         a character that is not a vertical white space character
+  \ew         a "word" character
+  \eW         a "non-word" character
+  \eX         a Unicode extended grapheme cluster
+.sp
+By default, \ed, \es, and \ew match only ASCII characters, even in UTF-8 mode
+or in the 16- bit and 32-bit libraries. However, if locale-specific matching is
+happening, \es and \ew may also match characters with code points in the range
+128-255. If the PCRE_UCP option is set, the behaviour of these escape sequences
+is changed to use Unicode properties and they match many more characters.

+Perl and POSIX space are now the same. Perl added VT to its space character set
+at release 5.18 and PCRE changed at release 8.34.
