+<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">DESCRIPTION</a><br>
+<P>
+The C++ wrapper for PCRE was provided by Google Inc. Some additional
+functionality was added by Giuseppe Maxia. This brief man page was constructed
+from the notes in the <i>pcrecpp.h</i> file, which should be consulted for
+further details. Note that the C++ wrapper supports only the original 8-bit
+PCRE library. There is no 16-bit or 32-bit support at present.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">MATCHING INTERFACE</a><br>
+<P>
+The "FullMatch" operation checks that supplied text matches a supplied pattern
+exactly. If pointer arguments are supplied, it copies matched sub-strings that
+match sub-patterns into them.
+<pre>
+  Example: successful match
+     pcrecpp::RE re("h.*o");
+     re.FullMatch("hello");
+  Example: unsuccessful match (requires full match):
+     pcrecpp::RE re("e");
+     !re.FullMatch("hello");
+  Example: creating a temporary RE object:
+     pcrecpp::RE("h.*o").FullMatch("hello");
+</pre>
+You can pass in a "const char*" or a "string" for "text". The examples below
+tend to use a const char*. You can, as in the different examples above, store
+the RE object explicitly in a variable or use a temporary RE object. The
+examples below use one mode or the other arbitrarily. Either could correctly be
+used for any of these examples.
+</P>
+<P>
+You must supply extra pointer arguments to extract matched subpieces.
+<pre>
+  Example: extracts "ruby" into "s" and 1234 into "i"
+     int i;
+     string s;
+     pcrecpp::RE re("(\\w+):(\\d+)");
+     re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s, &i);
+  Example: does not try to extract any extra sub-patterns
+     re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s);
+  Example: does not try to extract into NULL
+     re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", NULL, &i);
+  Example: integer overflow causes failure
+     !re.FullMatch("ruby:1234567891234", NULL, &i);
+  Example: fails because there aren't enough sub-patterns:
+     !pcrecpp::RE("\\w+:\\d+").FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s);
+  Example: fails because string cannot be stored in integer
+     !pcrecpp::RE("(.*)").FullMatch("ruby", &i);
+</pre>
+The provided pointer arguments can be pointers to any scalar numeric
+type, or one of:
+<pre>
+   string        (matched piece is copied to string)
+   StringPiece   (StringPiece is mutated to point to matched piece)
+   T             (where "bool T::ParseFrom(const char*, int)" exists)
+   NULL          (the corresponding matched sub-pattern is not copied)
+</pre>
+The function returns true iff all of the following conditions are satisfied:
+<pre>
+  a. "text" matches "pattern" exactly;
+  b. The number of matched sub-patterns is &#62;= number of supplied
+     pointers;
+  c. The "i"th argument has a suitable type for holding the
+     string captured as the "i"th sub-pattern. If you pass in
+     void * NULL for the "i"th argument, or a non-void * NULL
+     of the correct type, or pass fewer arguments than the
+     number of sub-patterns, "i"th captured sub-pattern is
+     ignored.
+</pre>
+CAVEAT: An optional sub-pattern that does not exist in the matched
+string is assigned the empty string. Therefore, the following will
+return false (because the empty string is not a valid number):
+<pre>
+   int number;
+   pcrecpp::RE::FullMatch("abc", "[a-z]+(\\d+)?", &number);
+</pre>
+The matching interface supports at most 16 arguments per call.
+If you need more, consider using the more general interface
+<b>pcrecpp::RE::DoMatch</b>. See <b>pcrecpp.h</b> for the signature for
+<b>DoMatch</b>.
+</P>
+<P>
+NOTE: Do not use <b>no_arg</b>, which is used internally to mark the end of a
+list of optional arguments, as a placeholder for missing arguments, as this can
+lead to segfaults.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">QUOTING METACHARACTERS</a><br>
+<P>
+You can use the "QuoteMeta" operation to insert backslashes before all
+potentially meaningful characters in a string. The returned string, used as a
+regular expression, will exactly match the original string.
+<pre>
+  Example:
+     string quoted = RE::QuoteMeta(unquoted);
+</pre>
+Note that it's legal to escape a character even if it has no special meaning in
+a regular expression -- so this function does that. (This also makes it
+identical to the perl function of the same name; see "perldoc -f quotemeta".)
+For example, "1.5-2.0?" becomes "1\.5\-2\.0\?".
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHES</a><br>
+<P>
+You can use the "PartialMatch" operation when you want the pattern
+to match any substring of the text.
+<pre>
+  Example: simple search for a string:
+     pcrecpp::RE("ell").PartialMatch("hello");
+  Example: find first number in a string:
+     int number;
+     pcrecpp::RE re("(\\d+)");
+     re.PartialMatch("x*100 + 20", &number);
+     assert(number == 100);
+</PRE>
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">UTF-8 AND THE MATCHING INTERFACE</a><br>
+<P>
+By default, pattern and text are plain text, one byte per character. The UTF8
+flag, passed to the constructor, causes both pattern and string to be treated
+as UTF-8 text, still a byte stream but potentially multiple bytes per
+character. In practice, the text is likelier to be UTF-8 than the pattern, but
+the match returned may depend on the UTF8 flag, so always use it when matching
+UTF8 text. For example, "." will match one byte normally but with UTF8 set may
+match up to three bytes of a multi-byte character.
+<pre>
+  Example:
+     pcrecpp::RE_Options options;
+     options.set_utf8();
+     pcrecpp::RE re(utf8_pattern, options);
+     re.FullMatch(utf8_string);
+  Example: using the convenience function UTF8():
+     pcrecpp::RE re(utf8_pattern, pcrecpp::UTF8());
+     re.FullMatch(utf8_string);
+</pre>
+NOTE: The UTF8 flag is ignored if pcre was not configured with the
+<pre>
+      --enable-utf8 flag.
+</PRE>
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">PASSING MODIFIERS TO THE REGULAR EXPRESSION ENGINE</a><br>
+<P>
+PCRE defines some modifiers to change the behavior of the regular expression
+engine. The C++ wrapper defines an auxiliary class, RE_Options, as a vehicle to
+pass such modifiers to a RE class. Currently, the following modifiers are
+supported:
+<pre>
+   modifier              description               Perl corresponding
+   PCRE_CASELESS         case insensitive match      /i
+   PCRE_MULTILINE        multiple lines match        /m
+   PCRE_DOTALL           dot matches newlines        /s
+   PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY   $ matches only at end       N/A
+   PCRE_EXTRA            strict escape parsing       N/A
+   PCRE_EXTENDED         ignore white spaces         /x
+   PCRE_UTF8             handles UTF8 chars          built-in
+   PCRE_UNGREEDY         reverses * and *?           N/A
+   PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE  disables capturing parens   N/A (*)
+</pre>
+(*) Both Perl and PCRE allow non capturing parentheses by means of the
+"?:" modifier within the pattern itself. e.g. (?:ab|cd) does not
+capture, while (ab|cd) does.
+</P>
+<P>
+For a full account on how each modifier works, please check the
+PCRE API reference page.
+</P>
+<P>
+For each modifier, there are two member functions whose name is made
+out of the modifier in lowercase, without the "PCRE_" prefix. For
+instance, PCRE_CASELESS is handled by
+<pre>
+  bool caseless()
+</pre>
+which returns true if the modifier is set, and
+<pre>
+  RE_Options & set_caseless(bool)
+</pre>
+which sets or unsets the modifier. Moreover, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT can be
+accessed through the <b>set_match_limit()</b> and <b>match_limit()</b> member
+functions. Setting <i>match_limit</i> to a non-zero value will limit the
+execution of pcre to keep it from doing bad things like blowing the stack or
+taking an eternity to return a result. A value of 5000 is good enough to stop
+stack blowup in a 2MB thread stack. Setting <i>match_limit</i> to zero disables
+match limiting. Alternatively, you can call <b>match_limit_recursion()</b>
+which uses PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION to limit how much PCRE
+recurses. <b>match_limit()</b> limits the number of matches PCRE does;
+<b>match_limit_recursion()</b> limits the depth of internal recursion, and
+therefore the amount of stack that is used.
+</P>
+<P>
+Normally, to pass one or more modifiers to a RE class, you declare
+a <i>RE_Options</i> object, set the appropriate options, and pass this
+object to a RE constructor. Example:
+<pre>
+   RE_Options opt;
+   opt.set_caseless(true);
+   if (RE("HELLO", opt).PartialMatch("hello world")) ...
+</pre>
+RE_options has two constructors. The default constructor takes no arguments and
+creates a set of flags that are off by default. The optional parameter
+<i>option_flags</i> is to facilitate transfer of legacy code from C programs.
+This lets you do
+<pre>
+   RE(pattern,
+     RE_Options(PCRE_CASELESS|PCRE_MULTILINE)).PartialMatch(str);
+</pre>
+However, new code is better off doing
+<pre>
+   RE(pattern,
+     RE_Options().set_caseless(true).set_multiline(true))
+       .PartialMatch(str);
+</pre>
+If you are going to pass one of the most used modifiers, there are some
+convenience functions that return a RE_Options class with the
+appropriate modifier already set: <b>CASELESS()</b>, <b>UTF8()</b>,
+<b>MULTILINE()</b>, <b>DOTALL</b>(), and <b>EXTENDED()</b>.
+</P>
+<P>
+If you need to set several options at once, and you don't want to go through
+the pains of declaring a RE_Options object and setting several options, there
+is a parallel method that give you such ability on the fly. You can concatenate
+several <b>set_xxxxx()</b> member functions, since each of them returns a
+reference to its class object. For example, to pass PCRE_CASELESS,
+PCRE_EXTENDED, and PCRE_MULTILINE to a RE with one statement, you may write:
+<pre>
+   RE(" ^ xyz \\s+ .* blah$",
+     RE_Options()
+       .set_caseless(true)
+       .set_extended(true)
+       .set_multiline(true)).PartialMatch(sometext);
+</PRE>
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">SCANNING TEXT INCREMENTALLY</a><br>
+<P>
+The "Consume" operation may be useful if you want to repeatedly
+match regular expressions at the front of a string and skip over
+them as they match. This requires use of the "StringPiece" type,
+which represents a sub-range of a real string. Like RE, StringPiece
+is defined in the pcrecpp namespace.
+<pre>
+  Example: read lines of the form "var = value" from a string.
+     string contents = ...;                 // Fill string somehow
+     pcrecpp::StringPiece input(contents);  // Wrap in a StringPiece
+     string var;
+     int value;
+     pcrecpp::RE re("(\\w+) = (\\d+)\n");
+     while (re.Consume(&input, &var, &value)) {
+       ...;
+     }
+</pre>
+Each successful call to "Consume" will set "var/value", and also
+advance "input" so it points past the matched text.
+</P>
+<P>
+The "FindAndConsume" operation is similar to "Consume" but does not
+anchor your match at the beginning of the string. For example, you
+could extract all words from a string by repeatedly calling
+<pre>
+  pcrecpp::RE("(\\w+)").FindAndConsume(&input, &word)
+</PRE>
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">PARSING HEX/OCTAL/C-RADIX NUMBERS</a><br>
+<P>
+By default, if you pass a pointer to a numeric value, the
+corresponding text is interpreted as a base-10 number. You can
+instead wrap the pointer with a call to one of the operators Hex(),
+Octal(), or CRadix() to interpret the text in another base. The
+CRadix operator interprets C-style "0" (base-8) and "0x" (base-16)
+prefixes, but defaults to base-10.
+<pre>
+  Example:
+    int a, b, c, d;
+    pcrecpp::RE re("(.*) (.*) (.*) (.*)");
+    re.FullMatch("100 40 0100 0x40",
+                 pcrecpp::Octal(&a), pcrecpp::Hex(&b),
+                 pcrecpp::CRadix(&c), pcrecpp::CRadix(&d));
+</pre>
+will leave 64 in a, b, c, and d.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">REPLACING PARTS OF STRINGS</a><br>
+<P>
+You can replace the first match of "pattern" in "str" with "rewrite".
+Within "rewrite", backslash-escaped digits (\1 to \9) can be
+used to insert text matching corresponding parenthesized group
+from the pattern. \0 in "rewrite" refers to the entire matching
+text. For example:
+<pre>
+  string s = "yabba dabba doo";
+  pcrecpp::RE("b+").Replace("d", &s);
+</pre>
+will leave "s" containing "yada dabba doo". The result is true if the pattern
+matches and a replacement occurs, false otherwise.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b>GlobalReplace</b> is like <b>Replace</b> except that it replaces all
+occurrences of the pattern in the string with the rewrite. Replacements are
+not subject to re-matching. For example:
+<pre>
+  string s = "yabba dabba doo";
+  pcrecpp::RE("b+").GlobalReplace("d", &s);
+</pre>
+will leave "s" containing "yada dada doo". It returns the number of
+replacements made.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b>Extract</b> is like <b>Replace</b>, except that if the pattern matches,
+"rewrite" is copied into "out" (an additional argument) with substitutions.
+The non-matching portions of "text" are ignored. Returns true iff a match
+occurred and the extraction happened successfully;  if no match occurs, the
+string is left unaffected.

+/* This is a demonstration program to illustrate the most straightforward ways
+of calling the PCRE regular expression library from a C program. See the
+pcresample documentation for a short discussion ("man pcresample" if you have
+the PCRE man pages installed).
+In Unix-like environments, if PCRE is installed in your standard system
+libraries, you should be able to compile this program using this command:
+gcc -Wall pcredemo.c -lpcre -o pcredemo
+If PCRE is not installed in a standard place, it is likely to be installed with
+support for the pkg-config mechanism. If you have pkg-config, you can compile
+this program using this command:
+gcc -Wall pcredemo.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libpcre` -o pcredemo
+If you do not have pkg-config, you may have to use this:
+gcc -Wall pcredemo.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib \
+  -R/usr/local/lib -lpcre -o pcredemo
+Replace "/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib" with wherever the include and
+library files for PCRE are installed on your system. Only some operating
+systems (e.g. Solaris) use the -R option.
+Building under Windows:
+If you want to statically link this program against a non-dll .a file, you must
+define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc() and
+pcre_free() exported functions will be declared __declspec(dllimport), with
+unwanted results. So in this environment, uncomment the following line. */

+* If the "-g" option was given on the command line, we want to continue  *
+* to search for additional matches in the subject string, in a similar   *
+* way to the /g option in Perl. This turns out to be trickier than you   *
+* might think because of the possibility of matching an empty string.    *
+* What happens is as follows:                                            *
+*                                                                        *
+* If the previous match was NOT for an empty string, we can just start   *
+* the next match at the end of the previous one.                         *
+*                                                                        *
+* If the previous match WAS for an empty string, we can't do that, as it *
+* would lead to an infinite loop. Instead, a special call of pcre_exec() *
+* is made with the PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART and PCRE_ANCHORED flags set.    *
+* The first of these tells PCRE that an empty string at the start of the *
+* subject is not a valid match; other possibilities must be tried. The   *
+* second flag restricts PCRE to one match attempt at the initial string  *
+* position. If this match succeeds, an alternative to the empty string   *
+* match has been found, and we can print it and proceed round the loop,  *
+* advancing by the length of whatever was found. If this match does not  *
+* succeed, we still stay in the loop, advancing by just one character.   *
+* In UTF-8 mode, which can be set by (*UTF8) in the pattern, this may be *
+* more than one byte.                                                    *
+*                                                                        *
+* However, there is a complication concerned with newlines. When the     *
+* newline convention is such that CRLF is a valid newline, we must       *
+* advance by two characters rather than one. The newline convention can  *
+* be set in the regex by (*CR), etc.; if not, we must find the default.  *
