       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre.h>

       const unsigned char *pcre_maketables(void);

       const unsigned char *pcre16_maketables(void);

       const unsigned char *pcre32_maketables(void);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function builds a set of character tables for character
       values less than 256. These can be passed to
       pcre[16|32]_compile() to override PCRE's internal, built-in
       tables (which were made by pcre[16|32]_maketables() when PCRE was
       compiled). You might want to do this if you are using a non-
       standard locale. The function yields a pointer to the tables.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
       pcreapi page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcreposix
       page.
