Regexp syntax

[Per Sjoholm]

Updating from CentOS 4.7 to 5.2 with targeting and enforcing.
(Main reason for doing the update)

Were can I find the syntax description for the regexp used in semange 
fcontext.
And also some non trivial examples.

I have read
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/ManagingFileContext
 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/f10/pdf/Security-Enhance...

Thanks

Examples can be found here:
http://oss.tresys.com/projects/refpolicy/browser/trunk/policy/modules

Look into the various *.fc files (file context)

For example:

The syntax is just that of a POSIX extended RE.
man 7 regex

Thanks,
This is important as there are several regex behaviours.
Maybe some can add this(POSIX extended RE, man 7 regex) to appropriate 
docs and manual pages ?

Info about checking reference policy for example is also good.
