NAME top

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       pcre2_general_context *pcre2_general_context_create(
         void *(*private_malloc)(size_t, void *),
         void (*private_free)(void *, void *), void *memory_data);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function creates and initializes a general context. The
       arguments define custom memory management functions and a data
       value that is passed to them when they are called. The
       private_malloc() function is used to get memory for the context.
       If either of the first two arguments is NULL, the system memory
       management function is used. The result is NULL if no memory could
       be obtained.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
       pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix
       page.
