pcregrep

grep utility that uses perl 5 compatible regexes.

Perl-style regexps have many useful features that the standard POSIX ones don't; this is basically the same as grep but with the different regexp syntax. The other reason for the existence of pcregrep is that its source code is an example of programming with libpcre.

PCRE, Perl-compatible regular expression, library has its own

native API, but a set of wrapper functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied in the libpcreposix library. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. This package provides support for strings in 8-bit and UTF-8 encodings. Detailed change log is provided by pcre-doc package.
