1 .TH PCRE2_MAKETABLES 3 "17 April 2017" "PCRE2 10.30"
3 PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
10 .B const unsigned char *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *\fIgcontext\fP);
15 This function builds a set of character tables for character code points that
16 are less than 256. These can be passed to \fBpcre2_compile()\fP in a compile
17 context in order to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either
18 defaulted or made by \fBpcre2_maketables()\fP when PCRE2 was compiled). See the
20 \fBpcre2_set_character_tables()\fP
22 page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.
24 If the argument is NULL, \fBmalloc()\fP is used to get memory for the tables.
25 Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a
26 custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables.
28 There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
32 page and a description of the POSIX API in the
