SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre.h>

       int pcre_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre *code,
            pcre_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);

       int pcre16_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre16 *code,
            pcre16_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);

       int pcre32_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre32 *code,
            pcre32_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function ensures that the bytes in 2-byte and 4-byte values
       in a compiled pattern are in the correct order for the current
       host. It is useful when a pattern that has been compiled on one
       host is transferred to another that might have different
       endianness. The arguments are:

         code         A compiled regular expression
         extra        Points to an associated pcre[16|32]_extra
       structure,
                        or is NULL
         tables       Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
                        set the built-in default

       The result is 0 for success, a negative PCRE_ERROR_xxx value
       otherwise.

       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.
