+DESCRIPTION
+</b><br>
+<P>
+This function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion functions.
+It converts a foreign pattern (for example, a glob) into a PCRE2 regular
+expression pattern. Its arguments are:
+<pre>
+ <i>pattern</i> The foreign pattern
+ <i>length</i> The length of the input pattern or PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED
+ <i>options</i> Option bits
+ <i>buffer</i> Pointer to pointer to output buffer, or NULL
+ <i>blength</i> Pointer to output length field
+ <i>cvcontext</i> Pointer to a convert context or NULL
+</pre>
+The length of the converted pattern (excluding the terminating zero) is
+returned via <i>blength</i>. If <i>buffer</i> is NULL, the function just returns
+the output length. If <i>buffer</i> points to a NULL pointer, heap memory is
+obtained for the converted pattern, using the allocator in the context if
+present (or else <b>malloc()</b>), and the field pointed to by <i>buffer</i> is
+updated. If <i>buffer</i> points to a non-NULL field, that must point to a
+buffer whose size is in the variable pointed to by <i>blength</i>. This value is
+updated.
+</P>
+<P>
+The option bits are:
+<pre>
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_UTF Input is UTF
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_NO_UTF_CHECK Do not check UTF validity
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_BASIC Convert POSIX basic pattern
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_EXTENDED Convert POSIX extended pattern
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB ) Convert
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_WILD_SEPARATOR ) various types
+ PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_STARSTAR ) of glob
+</pre>
+The return value from <b>pcre2_pattern_convert()</b> is zero on success or a
+non-zero PCRE2 error code.

+documentation.
