NAME top

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_max_varlookbehind(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         uint32_t value);

DESCRIPTION top


       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.
