+DESCRIPTION
+</b><br>
+<P>
+This function decodes a serialized set of compiled patterns back into a list of
+individual patterns. This is possible only on a host that is running the same
+version of PCRE2, with the same code unit width, and the host must also have
+the same endianness, pointer width and PCRE2_SIZE type. The arguments for
+<b>pcre2_serialize_decode()</b> are:
+<pre>
+ <i>codes</i> pointer to a vector in which to build the list
+ <i>number_of_codes</i> number of slots in the vector
+ <i>bytes</i> the serialized byte stream
+ <i>gcontext</i> pointer to a general context or NULL
+</pre>
+The <i>bytes</i> argument must point to a block of data that was originally
+created by <b>pcre2_serialize_encode()</b>, though it may have been saved on
+disc or elsewhere in the meantime. If there are more codes in the serialized
+data than slots in the list, only those compiled patterns that will fit are
+decoded. The yield of the function is the number of decoded patterns, or one of
+the following negative error codes:
+<pre>
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA <i>number_of_codes</i> is zero or less
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC mismatch of id bytes in <i>bytes</i>
+ PCRE2_ERROR_BADMODE mismatch of variable unit size or PCRE version
+ PCRE2_ERROR_MEMORY memory allocation failed
+ PCRE2_ERROR_NULL <i>codes</i> or <i>bytes</i> is NULL
+</pre>
+PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC may mean that the data is corrupt, or that it was compiled
+on a system with different endianness.
+</P>
