bionic (3) pcre2_set_glob_escape.3.gz

NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_glob_escape(pcre2_convert_context *cvcontext,
         uint32_t escape_char);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  is  part  of  an  experimental  set  of pattern conversion functions.  It sets the escape
       character that is used when converting globs. The second argument must either be zero (meaning  there  is
       no  escape  character) or a punctuation character whose code point is less than 256. The default is grave
       accent if running under Windows, otherwise backslash. The result of the function is zero for  success  or
       PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA if the second argument is invalid.

       The pattern conversion functions are described in the pcre2convert documentation.
