.SH DESCRIPTION

|
.rs
|

|
.sp
|
||
|
|
This function compiles a regular expression pattern into an internal form. Its
|
||
|
|
arguments are:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fIpattern\fP A string containing expression to be compiled
|
||
|
|
\fIlength\fP The length of the string or PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED
|
||
|
|
\fIoptions\fP Option bits
|
||
|
|
\fIerrorcode\fP Where to put an error code
|
||
|
|
\fIerroffset\fP Where to put an error offset
|
||
|
|
\fIccontext\fP Pointer to a compile context or NULL
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The length of the string and any error offset that is returned are in code
|
||
|
|
units, not characters. A compile context is needed only if you want to change
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
What \eR matches (Unicode newlines or CR, LF, CRLF only)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2's character tables
|
||
|
|
The newline character sequence
|
||
|
|
The compile time nested parentheses limit
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
or provide an external function for stack size checking. The option bits are:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_ALT_BSUX Alternative handling of \eu, \eU, and \ex
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_CASELESS Do caseless matching
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ not to match newline at end
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_DOTALL . matches anything including NL
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_DUPNAMES Allow duplicate names for subpatterns
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_EXTENDED Ignore white space and # comments
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_FIRSTLINE Force matching to be before newline
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_MATCH_UNSET_BACKREF Match unset back references
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_MULTILINE ^ and $ match newlines within data
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NEVER_UCP Lock out PCRE2_UCP, e.g. via (*UCP)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NEVER_UTF Lock out PCRE2_UTF, e.g. via (*UTF)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE Disable numbered capturing paren-
|
||
|
|
theses (named ones available)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NO_AUTO_POSSESS Disable auto-possessification
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Disable match-time start optimizations
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF validity
|
||
|
|
(only relevant if PCRE2_UTF is set)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_UCP Use Unicode properties for \ed, \ew, etc.
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_UTF Treat pattern and subjects as UTF strings
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
PCRE2 must be built with Unicode support in order to use PCRE2_UTF, PCRE2_UCP
|
||
|
|
and related options.
|
||
|
|
.P
|
||
|
|
The yield of the function is a pointer to a private data structure that
|
||
|
|
contains the compiled pattern, or NULL if an error was detected.
