-This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. Its
-arguments are:

-
-
-SYNOPSIS
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-
- pattern A zero-terminated string containing the
- regular expression to be compiled
- options Zero or more option bits
- errptr Where to put an error message
- erroffset Offset in pattern where error was found
- tableptr 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 -pcreapi -page. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
