ANCHOR objects represent anchors like “^” or “$”.

Part of:

package cl-ppcre, class regex

Direct Superclass

regex

The REGEX base class. All other classes inherit
from this one.

Slot

multi-line-p
Whether we're in multi-line mode, i.e. whether each #\Newline is surrounded by anchors.
Initargs::multi-line-p; Reader:multi-line-p.
no-newline-p
Whether we ignore #\Newline at the end.
Initargs::no-newline-p; Reader:no-newline-p.
startp
Whether this is a "start anchor".
Initargs::startp; Reader:startp.
