Summary: Contradiction about default type of regular expressions Project: findutils Submitted by: pacalet Submitted on: Thu 07 Oct 2021 09:25:47 AM UTC Category: documentation Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: None Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: In the documentation of findutils, section "2.1.2 Full Name Patterns", about the '-(i)regex' test: "There are several varieties of regular expressions; by default this test uses POSIX basic regular expressions, but this can be changed with the option '-regextype'." While about the '-regextype' option: "If this option is not given, GNU Emacs regular expressions are assumed." Unless GNU Emacs and POSIX basic regular expressions are the same this looks like a contradiction. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61304> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
