NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_max_pattern_length(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         PCRE2_SIZE value);

DESCRIPTION

       This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length (in code units) of the pattern that can
       be compiled. The result is always zero. If a longer pattern is passed  to  pcre2_compile()  there  is  an
       immediate  error  return.  The  default  is  effectively  unlimited, being the largest value a PCRE2_SIZE
       variable can hold.

       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.
