PCRE2_SET_...ERN_LENGTH(3)  Library Functions Manual  PCRE2_SET_...ERN_LENGTH(3)

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 re-
     turn. 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.
