| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | .rs |
| 16 | .sp |
| 17 | This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length (in code |
| 18 | units) of the pattern that can be compiled. The result is always zero. If a |
| 19 | longer pattern is passed to \fBpcre2_compile()\fP there is an immediate error |
| 20 | return. The default is effectively unlimited, being the largest value a |
| 21 | PCRE2_SIZE variable can hold. |
