| .TH PCRE2_MAKETABLES 3 "17 April 2017" "PCRE2 10.30" |
| .SH NAME |
| PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API) |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| .B #include <pcre2.h> |
| .PP |
| .SM |
| .B const uint8_t *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *\fIgcontext\fP); |
| . |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function builds a set of character tables for character code points that |
| are less than 256. These can be passed to \fBpcre2_compile()\fP in a compile |
| context in order to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either |
| defaulted or made by \fBpcre2_maketables()\fP when PCRE2 was compiled). See the |
| .\" HREF |
| \fBpcre2_set_character_tables()\fP |
| .\" |
| page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale. |
| .P |
| If the argument is NULL, \fBmalloc()\fP is used to get memory for the tables. |
| Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a |
| custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables. |
| .P |
| There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the |
| .\" HREF |
| \fBpcre2api\fP |
| .\" |
| page and a description of the POSIX API in the |
| .\" HREF |
| \fBpcre2posix\fP |
| .\" |
| page. |
