This is the source code repository for RE2, a regular expression library.

For documentation about how to install and use RE2,
visit https://github.com/google/re2/.

The short version is:

make
make test
make install
make testinstall

Building RE2 requires Abseil (https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp)
to be installed on your system. Building the testing for RE2 requires
GoogleTest (https://github.com/google/googletest) and Benchmark
(https://github.com/google/benchmark) to be installed as well.

There is a fair amount of documentation (including code snippets) in
the re2.h header file.
