| .SH NAME |
| PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API) |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| .B #include <pcre2.h> |
| .PP |
| .nf |
| .B int32_t pcre2_serialize_get_number_of_codes(const uint8_t *\fIbytes\fP); |
| .fi |
| . |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| The \fIbytes\fP argument must point to a serialized byte stream that was |
| originally created by \fBpcre2_serialize_encode()\fP (though it may have been |
| saved on disc or elsewhere in the meantime). The function returns the number of |
| serialized patterns in the byte stream, or one of the following negative error |
| codes: |
| .sp |
| PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC mismatch of id bytes in \fIbytes\fP |
| PCRE2_ERROR_BADMODE mismatch of variable unit size or PCRE version |
| PCRE2_ERROR_NULL the argument is NULL |
| .sp |
| PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC may mean that the data is corrupt, or that it was compiled |
| on a system with different endianness. |
| .P |
