/* A simple regular expression checker for rsyslog test and debug.
 * Regular expressions have shown to turn out to be a hot support topic. 
 * While I have done an online tool at http://www.rsyslog.com/tool-regex
 * there are still some situations where one wants to check against the
 * actual clib api calls. This is what this small test program does,
 * it takes its command line arguments (re first, then sample data) and
 * pushes them into the API and then shows the result. This should be
 * considered the ultimate reference for any questions arising.
