-In basic regular expressions the metacharacters <SAMP>`?'</SAMP>,
<SAMP>`+'</SAMP>,
-<SAMP>`{'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`|'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`('</SAMP>, and <SAMP>`)'</SAMP>
lose their special meaning;
-instead use the backslashed versions <SAMP>`\?'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`\+'</SAMP>,
<SAMP>`\{'</SAMP>,
-<SAMP>`\|'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`\('</SAMP>, and <SAMP>`\)'</SAMP>.

-<A NAME="IDX208"></A>
-Traditional <CODE>egrep</CODE> did not support the <SAMP>`{'</SAMP>
metacharacter,
-and some <CODE>egrep</CODE> implementations support <SAMP>`\{'</SAMP> instead,
so
-portable scripts should avoid <SAMP>`{'</SAMP> in <SAMP>`egrep'</SAMP>
patterns and
-should use <SAMP>`[{]'</SAMP> to match a literal <SAMP>`{'</SAMP>.
-</P><P>
-
-GNU <CODE>egrep</CODE> attempts to support traditional usage by
-assuming that <SAMP>`{'</SAMP> is not special if it would be the start of an
-invalid interval specification. For example, the shell command
-<SAMP>`egrep '{1''</SAMP> searches for the two-character string
<SAMP>`{1'</SAMP>
-instead of reporting a syntax error in the regular expression.
-POSIX.2 allows this behavior as an extension, but portable scripts
-should avoid it.
