APPLICATION USAGE

These variables are kept for historical reasons, but may be withdrawn in a future issue.

New applications should use fnmatch(), glob(), regcomp() and regexec(), which provide full internationalised regular expression functionality compatible with the ISO POSIX-2 standard, as described in the XBD specification, re(7).

DERIVATION

Derived from Issue 2 of the SVID.
