| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| .B #include <pcre2.h> |

| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length (in code |
| units) of the pattern that can be compiled. The result is always zero. If a |
| longer pattern is passed to \fBpcre2_compile()\fP there is an immediate error |
| return. The default is effectively unlimited, being the largest value a |
| PCRE2_SIZE variable can hold. |
