NAME top

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_glob_escape(pcre2_convert_context *cvcontext,
         uint32_t escape_char);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion
       functions.  It sets the escape character that is used when
       converting globs. The second argument must either be zero (meaning
       there is no escape character) or a punctuation character whose
       code point is less than 256. The default is grave accent if
       running under Windows, otherwise backslash. The result of the
       function is zero for success or PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA if the second
       argument is invalid.

       The pattern conversion functions are described in the pcre2convert
       documentation.
