[clug] Circumflex

Thanks, Kim:

ASCII 94 seems referred to interchangeably as "circumflex accent" or 
"caret". I wanted specifically its use in Linux.

"In regular expressions, the caret is used to mark the beginning of a 
string, or the beginning of a line within that string (depending on the 
regular expression dialect and specified options); if it begins a 
character class, it indicates that the inverse of the class is to be 
matched."
