pcre_maketables.3 revision 4d553781254e46f1dfc8d86b79667a74fb8a3eb5
PCRE 3
NAME
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
.rs #include <pcre.h>

const unsigned char *pcre_maketables(void); .

DESCRIPTION
.rs This function builds a set of character tables for character values less than 256. These can be passed to pcre_compile() to override PCRE's internal, built-in tables (which were made by pcre_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 HREF

page and a description of the POSIX API in the HREF
pcreposix
page.
