## Description ### Structure xmlRegExecCtxt
    Structure xmlRegExecCtxt
    struct _xmlRegExecCtxt {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    }
### Structure xmlRegexp
    Structure xmlRegexp
    struct _xmlRegexp {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    }
### Function type: xmlRegExecCallbacks
    Function type: xmlRegExecCallbacks
    void	xmlRegExecCallbacks		(xmlRegExecCtxtPtr exec,
    					 const xmlChar * token,
    					 void * transdata,
    					 void * inputdata)
`exec`: |
`token`: |
`transdata`: |
`inputdata`: |
### Function: xmlRegExecPushString
    int	xmlRegExecPushString		(xmlRegExecCtxtPtr exec,
    					 const xmlChar * value,
    					 void * data)
Push one input token in the execution context
`exec`: | a regexp execution context or NULL to indicate the end
`value`: | a string token input
`data`: | data associated to the token to reuse in callbacks
`Returns`: | 1 if the regexp reached a final state, 0 if non-final, and a negative value in case of error.
### Function: xmlRegExecPushString2
    int	xmlRegExecPushString2		(xmlRegExecCtxtPtr exec,
    					 const xmlChar * value,
    					 const xmlChar * value2,
    					 void * data)
Push one input token in the execution context
`exec`: | a regexp execution context or NULL to indicate the end
`value`: | the first string token input
`value2`: | the second string token input
`data`: | data associated to the token to reuse in callbacks
`Returns`: | 1 if the regexp reached a final state, 0 if non-final, and a negative value in case of error.
### Function: xmlRegFreeExecCtxt
    void	xmlRegFreeExecCtxt		(xmlRegExecCtxtPtr exec)
Free the structures associated to a regular expression evaulation context.
`exec`: | a regular expression evaulation context
### Function: xmlRegFreeRegexp
    void	xmlRegFreeRegexp		(xmlRegexpPtr regexp)
Free a regexp
`regexp`: | the regexp
### Function: xmlRegNewExecCtxt
    xmlRegExecCtxtPtr	xmlRegNewExecCtxt	(xmlRegexpPtr comp,
    						 xmlRegExecCallbacks callback,
    						 void * data)
Build a context used for progressive evaluation of a regexp.
`comp`: | a precompiled regular expression
`callback`: | a callback function used for handling progresses in the automata matching phase
`data`: | the context data associated to the callback in this context
`Returns`: | the new context
### Function: xmlRegexpCompile
    xmlRegexpPtr	xmlRegexpCompile	(const xmlChar * regexp)
Parses a regular expression conforming to XML Schemas Part 2 Datatype Appendix F and builds an automata suitable for testing strings against that regular expression
`regexp`: | a regular expression string
`Returns`: | the compiled expression or NULL in case of error
### Function: xmlRegexpExec
    int	xmlRegexpExec			(xmlRegexpPtr comp,
    					 const xmlChar * content)
Check if the regular expression generates the value
`comp`: | the compiled regular expression
`content`: | the value to check against the regular expression
`Returns`: | 1 if it matches, 0 if not and a negative value in case of error
### Function: xmlRegexpIsDeterminist
    int	xmlRegexpIsDeterminist		(xmlRegexpPtr comp)
Check if the regular expression is determinist
`comp`: | the compiled regular expression
`Returns`: | 1 if it yes, 0 if not and a negative value in case of error
### Function: xmlRegexpPrint
    void	xmlRegexpPrint			(FILE * output,
    					 xmlRegexpPtr regexp)
Print the content of the compiled regular expression
`output`: | the file for the output debug
`regexp`: | the compiled regexp
