Do you mean the implementation?
That's here:

What version exactly?

and I need to use the
following functions.
regexp_matches(), |regexp_split_to_array()|, and
|regexp_split_to_table()| . Can anybody provide me the definitions of
these functions.

They're written in C. You can't simply "CREATE FUNCTION ..." them in an
older version of Pg.

You could possibly port them to an older version as an add-in module
(using pgxs to build it), then load them as C functions. I would be
reluctant to try that myself, though, since you'd just be throwing the
work away when you upgrade.
