PCRE2_SET_NEWLINE(3) Introduction to Library Functions PCRE2_SET_NEWLINE(3)

NAME

PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pcre2.h>

int pcre2_set_max_varlookbehind(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
uint32_t value);

DESCRIPTION

This sets a maximum length for the number of characters matched by a
variable-length lookbehind assertion. The default is set when PCRE2
is built, with the ultimate default being 255, the same as Perl.
Lookbehind assertions without a bounding length are not supported.
The result is always zero.

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.
