.SH NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.rs
.sp
.B #include <pcre2.h>
.PP
.SM
.B int pcre2_config(uint32_t \fIwhat\fP, void *\fIwhere\fP);
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.rs
.sp
This function makes it possible for a client program to find out which optional
features are available in the version of the PCRE2 library it is using. The
arguments are as follows:
.sp
\fIwhat\fP A code specifying what information is required
\fIwhere\fP Points to where to put the information
.sp
If \fIwhere\fP is NULL, the function returns the amount of memory needed for
the requested information. When the information is a string, the value is in
code units; for other types of data it is in bytes.
.P
If \fBwhere\fP is not NULL, for PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET,
PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION, and PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION it must point to a
2014-11-25 06:55:07 -05:00
buffer that is large enough to hold the string. For all other codes it must
point to a uint32_t integer variable. The available codes are:
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
.sp
PCRE2_CONFIG_BSR Indicates what \eR matches by default:
2014-11-25 06:55:07 -05:00
PCRE2_BSR_UNICODE
PCRE2_BSR_ANYCRLF
PCRE2_CONFIG_COMPILED_WIDTHS Which of 8/16/32 support was compiled
2017-03-24 12:53:38 -04:00
PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT Default backtracking depth limit
PCRE2_CONFIG_HEAPLIMIT Default heap memory limit

PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET Information (a string) about the target
architecture for the JIT compiler
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
PCRE2_CONFIG_LINKSIZE Configured internal link size (2, 3, 4)
PCRE2_CONFIG_MATCHLIMIT Default internal resource limit
PCRE2_CONFIG_NEVER_BACKSLASH_C Whether or not \eC is disabled
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
PCRE2_CONFIG_NEWLINE Code for the default newline sequence:

PCRE2_NEWLINE_CR
PCRE2_NEWLINE_LF
PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF

PCRE2_CONFIG_PARENSLIMIT Default parentheses nesting limit
2017-03-24 12:53:38 -04:00
PCRE2_CONFIG_RECURSIONLIMIT Obsolete: use PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT
PCRE2_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE Obsolete: always returns 0
.\" JOIN
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE Availability of Unicode support (1=yes
0=no)
PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION The Unicode version (a string)
PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION The PCRE2 version (a string)
.sp
The function yields a non-negative value on success or the negative value
PCRE2_ERROR_BADOPTION otherwise. This is also the result for the
PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET code if JIT support is not available. When a string is
requested, the function returns the number of code units used, including the
2014-10-21 12:33:30 -04:00
terminating zero.
