Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2014-15573
2014-11-22 19:54:49
——————————————————————————–

Name : pcre
Product : Fedora 21
Version : 8.35
Release : 8.fc21
URL : http://www.pcre.org/
Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library
Description :
Perl-compatible regular expression library.
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of “wrapper” functions that are based on
the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this
just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions
themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file
for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.
