NAME top

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_character_tables(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         const uint8_t *tables);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function sets a pointer to custom character tables within a
       compile context. The second argument must point to a set of PCRE2
       character tables or be NULL to request the default tables. The
       result is always zero. Character tables can be created by calling
       pcre2_maketables() or by running the pcre2_dftables maintenance
       command in binary mode (see the pcre2build documentation).

       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.
