-.TH PCRE 3
-.SH NAME
-PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.rs
-.sp
-.B #include <pcre.h>
-.PP
-.SM
-.br
-.B pcre *pcre_compile(const char *\fIpattern\fR, int \fIoptions\fR,
-.ti +5n
-.B const char **\fIerrptr\fR, int *\fIerroffset\fR,
-.ti +5n
-.B const unsigned char *\fItableptr\fR);
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.rs
-.sp
-This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. Its
-arguments are:
-
- \fIpattern\fR A zero-terminated string containing the
- regular expression to be compiled
- \fIoptions\fR Zero or more option bits
- \fIerrptr\fR Where to put an error message
- \fIerroffset\fR Offset in pattern where error was found
- \fItableptr\fR Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
- use the built-in default
-
-The option bits are:
-
- PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
- PCRE_CASELESS Do caseless matching
- PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ not to match newline at end
- PCRE_DOTALL . matches anything including NL
- PCRE_EXTENDED Ignore whitespace and # comments
- PCRE_EXTRA PCRE extra features
- (not much use currently)
- PCRE_MULTILINE ^ and $ match newlines within data
- PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE Disable numbered capturing paren-
- theses (named ones available)
- PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
- PCRE_UTF8 Run in UTF-8 mode
- PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-8
- validity (only relevant if
- PCRE_UTF8 is set)
-
-PCRE must be compiled with UTF-8 support in order to use PCRE_UTF8
-(or PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK).
-
-The yield of the function is a pointer to a private data structure that
-contains the compiled pattern, or NULL if an error was detected.
-
-There is a complete description of the PCRE API in the
-.\" HREF
-\fBpcreapi\fR
