NAME

       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS


       #include <pcre.h>

       const unsigned char *pcre_maketables(void);

DESCRIPTION


       This  function  builds  a  set of character tables for character values
       less than 256. These can be passed to pcre_compile() to override PCRE’s
       internal,  built-in  tables  (which were made by pcre_maketables() when
       PCRE was compiled). You might want to do this if you are using  a  non-
       standard locale.  The function yields a pointer to the tables.

       There  is  a complete description of the PCRE native API in the pcreapi
       page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
