| .sp |

| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function makes a copy of the memory used for a compiled pattern, excluding |
| any memory used by the JIT compiler. Without a subsequent call to |
| \fBpcre2_jit_compile()\fP, the copy can be used only for non-JIT matching. The |
| pointer to the character tables is copied, not the tables themselves (see |
| \fBpcre2_code_copy_with_tables()\fP). The yield of the function is NULL if |
| \fIcode\fP is NULL or if sufficient memory cannot be obtained. |
