RegexMatchFlags
Description:
Flags specifying match-time options.
Namespace: GLib
Package: glib-2.0

Enum values:
-
ANCHORED - The pattern is forced to be "anchored", that
is, it is constrained to match only at the first matching point in the string that is being searched. This effect can also be achieved
by appropriate constructs in the pattern itself such as the "^" metacharater.
-
NOTBOL - Specifies that first character of the string is
not the beginning of a line, so the circumflex metacharacter should not match before it. Setting this without G_REGEX_MULTILINE (at
compile time) causes circumflex never to match. This option affects only the behaviour of the circumflex metacharacter, it does not
affect "\A".
-
NOTEOL - Specifies that the end of the subject string is
not the end of a line, so the dollar metacharacter should not match it nor (except in multiline mode) a newline immediately before it.
Setting this without G_REGEX_MULTILINE (at compile time) causes dollar never to match. This option affects only the behaviour of the
dollar metacharacter, it does not affect "\Z" or "\z".
-
NOTEMPTY - An empty string is not considered to be a
valid match if this option is set. If there are alternatives in the pattern, they are tried. If all the alternatives match the empty
string, the entire match fails. For example, if the pattern "a?b?" is applied to a string not beginning with "a" or "b", it matches the
empty string at the start of the string. With this flag set, this match is not valid, so GRegex searches further into the string for
occurrences of "a" or "b".
-
PARTIAL - Turns on the partial matching feature, for more
documentation on partial matching see g_match_info_is_partial_match().
-
NEWLINE_CR - Overrides the newline definition set when
creating a new GRegex, setting the '\r' character as line terminator.
-
NEWLINE_LF - Overrides the newline definition set when
creating a new GRegex, setting the '\n' character as line terminator.
-
NEWLINE_CRLF - Overrides the newline definition set
when creating a new GRegex, setting the '\r\n' characters as line terminator.
-
NEWLINE_ANY - Overrides the newline definition set
when creating a new GRegex, any newline character or character sequence is recognized.
