Nick, Try $ man 7 regex Chances are you'll get a manpage describing POSIX REs. It's a bit opaque to begin with, though. :) I can recommend the Python Regex HOWTO (http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/regex/regex.html). It does a very good job of introducing REs, IMHO, and the concepts apply to other implementations as well...after all, it describes Python's Perl style REs.
