Hi,

I have an RFC for filter files (volatiles, etc.). Which regex type 
should be used? For example, I use these commands to test before I add 
stuff to volatiles:

   $ find /usr/share/pear -regextype emacs -regex
   '^/usr/share/pear/\.\(filemap\|lock\)$'
   /usr/share/pear/.lock
   $ find /usr/share/pear -regextype posix-egrep -regex
   '^/usr/share/pear/\.(filemap|lock)$'
   /usr/share/pear/.lock

The line after "-regex" is what goes into the filter. The first one is 
the default for `find', and the second one is obviously for `egrep.'
I can also use two expressions instead of one (the first for `.filemap' 
file and the second for `.lock') and not require "extended" regex features.
My question is, which syntax should be used?
Thank you!

Sergey.
