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 optional features are available in the version of the PCRE library
       it is using. 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_CONFIG_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.
