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.
