POSIX requires that the <regex.h> header shall define
the structures and symbolic constants used by the
regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(), and regfree() functions.
Therefore, there should be no need to include <sys/types.h> at all.
The POSIX docs don't use that include:

I missed an example about these functions.

Cheers
