Subject: regex man-page confusion
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 17:59:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc2343cb-1ac4-a3a8-e382-3228ff9a7f9f@towo.net> (raw)
(Sending this to cygwin-apps as I suspect it to be an installation or
packaging issue...)
I observe a confusing discrepancy between Cygwin installations on two
systems, all with cygwin 2.11.1:
On one system (both cygwin32 and cygwin64), /usr/share/man has
man3/regex.3.gz and man3p/regcomp.3p,
both pages describe functions regcomp, regexec, regerror and regfree,
but in different format (from man3, it says BSD manual).
On the other system, none of them exists, nor any other
/usr/share/man/*/reg* (MANPATH not set). But `man regcomp` nonetheless
displays a manpage, with those 4 functions and additionally wcs_regcomp
and wcs_regexec.
Can anyone resolve this weirdness?
Thanks, Thomas
