Subject: (docolon): Set re_syntax_options to RE_SYNTAX_POSIX_BASIC
X-Git-Tag: FILEUTILS-3_12j~67
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=85f9983c1942e77d995c4017b66386253c26f36f;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

(docolon): Set re_syntax_options to RE_SYNTAX_POSIX_BASIC
so expr's pattern matching uses BASIC (not GNU-extended) REs.
Reported by Jim Kingdon.
