regex.3
Reuben Thomas
Clarify details of matching
The first is that it's far from clear that the end points of the
complete string match are stored in the zero'th element of the
regmatch_t array; secondly, the phrase "next largest substring
match" is positively misleading, implying some sort of size
ordering, whereas in fact they are ordered according to their
appearance in the regex pattern.

Michael Kerrisk
Clarify meaning of "string conversions" for 'm' modifier
Mike Frysinger
Update %a vs %m documentation
POSIX.1-2008 adopted the 'm' flag for dynamic allocation. Update
