Today I have read two answers about which regular expressions are supported by
less
:
- Kusalananda mentioned re_format(7)
and referenced its manpage as man 7 re_format
.
RE_FORMAT(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual RE_FORMAT(7)
NAME
re_format – POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions
DESCRIPTION
Regular expressions (“REs”), as defined in IEEE Std 1003.2 (“POSIX.2”),
- ilkkachu mentioned regex(7)
and referenced its manpage by providing a link to a web page instead.
regex(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual regex(7)
NAME
regex - POSIX.2 regular expressions
DESCRIPTION
Regular expressions ("RE"s), as defined in POSIX.2,
I try to figure out how to open the regex(7)
manpage from the shell instead of reading it on the web.
man regex7
, man regex(7)
, man 7 regex
, man7 regex
just don't work, and man regex
leads to the regex(3)
manpage instead.
