NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       const uint8_t *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *gcontext);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  builds  a set of character tables for character code points that are less than 256. These
       can be passed to pcre2_compile() in a compile context in order to override the internal, built-in  tables
       (which  were  either  defaulted  or  made  by  pcre2_maketables()  when  PCRE2  was  compiled).  See  the
       pcre2_set_character_tables() page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.

       If the argument is NULL, malloc() is used to get memory for the tables.  Otherwise it  must  point  to  a
       general  context,  which can supply pointers to a custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to
       the tables.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api page and  a  description  of  the
       POSIX API in the pcre2posix page.
