PCRE2_MAKETABLES(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     PCRE2_MAKETABLES(3)

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  ei-
     ther  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.
