PCRE_CONFIG(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  PCRE_CONFIG(3)

NAME
     PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pcre.h>

     int pcre_config(int what, void *where);

     int pcre16_config(int what, void *where);

     int pcre32_config(int what, void *where);

DESCRIPTION
     This  function makes it possible for a client program to find out which op-
     tional features are available in the version of the PCRE library it is  us-
     ing. The arguments are as follows:

       what	A code specifying what information is required
       where	Points to where to put the data

     The  where argument must point to an integer variable, except for PCRE_CON-
     FIG_MATCH_LIMIT,	 PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION,    and     PCRE_CON-
     FIG_PARENS_LIMIT,	when  it must point to an unsigned long integer, and for
     PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET, when it must point to a const char*.  The  available
     codes are:

       PCRE_CONFIG_JIT		 Availability of just-in-time compiler
				   support (1=yes 0=no)
       PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET	 String containing information about the
				   target architecture for the JIT compiler,
				   or NULL if there is no JIT support
       PCRE_CONFIG_LINK_SIZE	 Internal link size: 2, 3, or 4
       PCRE_CONFIG_PARENS_LIMIT  Parentheses nesting limit
       PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT	 Internal resource limit
       PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION
				 Internal recursion depth limit
       PCRE_CONFIG_NEWLINE	 Value of the default newline sequence:
				     13 (0x000d)    for CR
				     10 (0x000a)    for LF
				   3338 (0x0d0a)    for CRLF
				     -2 	    for ANYCRLF
				     -1 	    for ANY
       PCRE_CONFIG_BSR		 Indicates what \R matches by default:
				      0 	    all Unicode line endings
				      1 	    CR, LF, or CRLF only
       PCRE_CONFIG_POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD
				 Threshold of return slots, above which
				   malloc() is used by the POSIX API
       PCRE_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE  Recursion implementation (1=stack 0=heap)
       PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16	 Availability of UTF-16 support (1=yes
				    0=no); option for pcre16_config()
       PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32	 Availability of UTF-32 support (1=yes
				    0=no); option for pcre32_config()
       PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 	 Availability of UTF-8 support (1=yes 0=no);
				   option for pcre_config()
       PCRE_CONFIG_UNICODE_PROPERTIES
				 Availability of Unicode property support
				   (1=yes 0=no)

     The  function  yields  0 on success or PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION otherwise. That
     error is also given if PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 is passed  to
     pcre_config(),  if  PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8  or  PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32  is  passed  to
     pcre16_config(), or if PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 is  passed  to
     pcre32_config().

     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.
