**Lrexlib** provides bindings of five regular expression library APIs
(POSIX_, PCRE_, GNU_, TRE_ and Oniguruma_) to Lua_ 5.1 and Lua 5.2.
The bindings for TRE and Oniguruma are not currently complete.

Zeigerman 2004-2012, and is released under the same license as Lua,
the MIT_ license (otherwise known as the revised BSD license). There
is no warranty.
