Read next substring. Return true if the substring has been read or false if it should be called again once the stream has more data to read. Also retu

Look for the substring forwards in the [p, n) range.

Note: these can't be inline since need the target class definition.

Check if the standard/alternative file/directory exists, returning empty path if it does not.

Replace matched parts of list elements using the format string and concatenate the transformed elements. See merge() overloads (below) for details.

Search for a program first in paths if not NULL and then using the standard path search semantics. Use var to suggest an override if the search fails.

Return true if the string contains only a single digit characters (used to detect the special $N variables).

Return paths of filesystem entries that match the pattern. See path_search() overloads (below) for details.

Parse a regular expression. Throw invalid_argument if it is not valid. Note: also used in functions-process.cxx (thus not static).

If the callback function is not specified just read out and skip all the input data.
