PCRE2_MAKETABLES 3 "17 April 2017" "PCRE2 10.30"
NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
SYNOPSIS
.rs
#include <pcre2.h> const unsigned char *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *gcontext); .
DESCRIPTION
.rs
This function builds a set of character tables for character code points that
are less than 256. These can be passed to pcre2_compile() in a compile
context in order to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either
defaulted or made by pcre2_maketables() when PCRE2 was compiled). See the
HREFpcre2_set_character_tables()
page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.
If the argument is NULL, malloc() is used to get memory for the tables. Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables.
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
HREF
pcre2api
page and a description of the POSIX API in the
HREF
pcre2posix
page.
