PCRE2_MAKETABLES(3) Introduction to Library Functions PCRE2_MAKETABLES(3)

NAME

PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pcre2.h>

const uint8_t *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *gcontext);

DESCRIPTION

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 pcre2_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
pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix
page.
