rgxg_number_range, rgxg_number_greaterequal - create regex that matches integers in the given range

rgxg 0.1.2                                        Apr 12, 2020                              RGXG_NUMBER_RANGE(3)

       These functions are available since rgxg 0.1.

rgxg_number_range()  generates  the  (extended)  regular  expression  that  matches integers in the range
       between first and last.

       rgxg_number_greaterequal() generates the (extended) regular expression that matches integers greater than
       or equal to number.

       The base of the matched integers is specified by base, which must be between 2  and  32  inclusive.  Note
       that  for  bases  greater  than  16 the "extended hex" alphabet is used (referenced as 'base32hex' in RFC4648).

       If RGXG_LEADINGZERO or RGXG_VARLEADINGZERO is set, then min_length specifies the minimum  length  of  the
       matched  integers (otherwise the argument is ignored). For instance the number 5 with min_length set to 3
       and options set to RGXG_LEADINGZERO is matched as '005'. By default the number of leading  zeros  depends
       on  the length of the last number. If min_length is lesser than or equal to the number of digits of last,
       the value has no effect.

       The generated regular expression is written to the character string regex, including the terminating null
       byte ('\0'), unless RGXG_NONULLBYTE is set. If regex is NULL the return value is the number of characters
       (excluding the terminating null byte) that would have been written in case regex  has  been  initialized.
       Note  that  the  functions  assume  an  arbitrarily long regex string, callers must ensure that the given
       string is large enough to not overflow the actual space.

       options is either zero, or the bitwise-or of one or more of the following macros:

       RGXG_NOUPPERCASE
              The generated regular expression only matches lower case letters for base values greater than  10.
              The default is to match both lower and upper case letters.

       RGXG_NOLOWERCASE
              The  generated regular expression only matches upper case letters for base values greater than 10.
              The default is to match both lower and upper case letters.

       RGXG_NOOUTERPARENS
              Omit the outer parenthesis, if any, of the regular expression.

       RGXG_LEADINGZERO
              The generated regular expression only matches integers with leading zeros (e.g. the integer  5  is
              only  matched as '005'). The number of leading zeros is influenced by the min_length argument (see
              above). By default no leading zeros are matched.

       RGXG_VARLEADINGZERO
              The generated regular expression matches integers with a variable number of  leading  zeros  (e.g.
              the number 5 is matched as '5', '05' and '005'). The maximum number of leading zeros is influenced
              by the min_length argument (see above). By default no leading zeros are matched.

       RGXG_NONULLBYTE
              Do not add the terminating null byte ('\0') to the regex string.

       Note  that  RGXG_NOUPPERCASE and RGXG_NOLOWERCASE as well as RGXG_LEADINGZERO and RGXG_VARLEADINGZERO are
       mutual exclusive options.

       The following errors can be returned:

       RGXG_ERROR_RANGE (rgxg_number_range() only)
              Invalid range (e.g.  first number is greater than last number).

       RGXG_ERROR_BASE
              The base is lesser than 2 or greater than 32.

       RGXG_ERROR_NEGARG
              At least one argument is negative.

       RGXG_ERROR_ARG2BIG (rgxg_number_greaterequal() only)
              The value of number is too large.

       RGXG_ERROR_MUTEXOPTIONS
              Two mutual exclusive options were specified.

       rgxg_number_range, rgxg_number_greaterequal - create regex that matches integers in the given range

       Upon successful return, these functions return the number of characters (excluding the  terminating  null
       byte) written to regex.

       If an error occurs, a (negative) error code is returned (see ERRORS section).
