+DESCRIPTION
+</b><br>
+<P>
+This function returns information about a compiled pattern. Its arguments are:
+<pre>
+ <i>code</i> Pointer to a compiled regular expression pattern
+ <i>what</i> What information is required
+ <i>where</i> Where to put the information
+</pre>
+The recognized values for the <i>what</i> argument, and the information they
+request are as follows:
+<pre>
+ PCRE2_INFO_ALLOPTIONS Final options after compiling
+ PCRE2_INFO_ARGOPTIONS Options passed to <b>pcre2_compile()</b>
+ PCRE2_INFO_BACKREFMAX Number of highest backreference
+ PCRE2_INFO_BSR What \R matches:
+ PCRE2_BSR_UNICODE: Unicode line endings
+ PCRE2_BSR_ANYCRLF: CR, LF, or CRLF only
+ PCRE2_INFO_CAPTURECOUNT Number of capturing subpatterns
+ PCRE2_INFO_DEPTHLIMIT Backtracking depth limit if set, otherwise PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET
+ PCRE2_INFO_EXTRAOPTIONS Extra options that were passed in the
+ compile context
+ PCRE2_INFO_FIRSTBITMAP Bitmap of first code units, or NULL
+ PCRE2_INFO_FIRSTCODETYPE Type of start-of-match information
+ 0 nothing set
+ 1 first code unit is set
+ 2 start of string or after newline
+ PCRE2_INFO_FIRSTCODEUNIT First code unit when type is 1
+ PCRE2_INFO_FRAMESIZE Size of backtracking frame
+ PCRE2_INFO_HASBACKSLASHC Return 1 if pattern contains \C
+ PCRE2_INFO_HASCRORLF Return 1 if explicit CR or LF matches exist in the pattern
+ PCRE2_INFO_HEAPLIMIT Heap memory limit if set, otherwise PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET
+ PCRE2_INFO_JCHANGED Return 1 if (?J) or (?-J) was used
+ PCRE2_INFO_JITSIZE Size of JIT compiled code, or 0
+ PCRE2_INFO_LASTCODETYPE Type of must-be-present information
+ 0 nothing set
+ 1 code unit is set
+ PCRE2_INFO_LASTCODEUNIT Last code unit when type is 1
+ PCRE2_INFO_MATCHEMPTY 1 if the pattern can match an empty string, 0 otherwise
+ PCRE2_INFO_MATCHLIMIT Match limit if set, otherwise PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET
+ PCRE2_INFO_MAXLOOKBEHIND Length (in characters) of the longest lookbehind assertion
+ PCRE2_INFO_MINLENGTH Lower bound length of matching strings
+ PCRE2_INFO_NAMECOUNT Number of named subpatterns
+ PCRE2_INFO_NAMEENTRYSIZE Size of name table entries
+ PCRE2_INFO_NAMETABLE Pointer to name table
+ PCRE2_CONFIG_NEWLINE Code for the newline sequence:
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_CR
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_LF
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANY
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF
+ PCRE2_NEWLINE_NUL
+ PCRE2_INFO_RECURSIONLIMIT Obsolete synonym for PCRE2_INFO_DEPTHLIMIT
+ PCRE2_INFO_SIZE Size of compiled pattern
+</pre>
+If <i>where</i> is NULL, the function returns the amount of memory needed for
+the requested information, in bytes. Otherwise, the <i>where</i> argument must
+point to an unsigned 32-bit integer (uint32_t variable), except for the
+following <i>what</i> values, when it must point to a variable of the type
+shown:
+<pre>
+ PCRE2_INFO_FIRSTBITMAP const uint8_t *
+ PCRE2_INFO_JITSIZE size_t
+ PCRE2_INFO_NAMETABLE PCRE2_SPTR
+ PCRE2_INFO_SIZE size_t
+</pre>
+The yield of the function is zero on success or:
+<pre>
+ PCRE2_ERROR_NULL the argument <i>code</i> is NULL
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC the "magic number" was not found
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADOPTION the value of <i>what</i> is invalid
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADMODE the pattern was compiled in the wrong mode
+ PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET the requested information is not set
+</PRE>
