-DESCRIPTION
-</b><br>
-<P>
-This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. It is the
-same as <b>pcre_compile()</b>, except for the addition of the <i>errorcodeptr</i>
-argument. The arguments are:
-</P>
-<P>
-<pre>
- <i>pattern</i> A zero-terminated string containing the
- regular expression to be compiled
- <i>options</i> Zero or more option bits
- <i>errorcodeptr</i> Where to put an error code
- <i>errptr</i> Where to put an error message
- <i>erroffset</i> Offset in pattern where error was found
- <i>tableptr</i> Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
- use the built-in default
-</pre>
-The option bits are:
-<pre>
- PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
- PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
- PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
- PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \R matches all Unicode line endings
- PCRE_CASELESS Do caseless matching
- PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ not to match newline at end
- PCRE_DOTALL . matches anything including NL
- PCRE_DUPNAMES Allow duplicate names for subpatterns
- PCRE_EXTENDED Ignore whitespace and # comments
- PCRE_EXTRA PCRE extra features
- (not much use currently)
- PCRE_FIRSTLINE Force matching to be before newline
- PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT JavaScript compatibility
- PCRE_MULTILINE ^ and $ match newlines within data
- PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
- PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, and CRLF as newline
- sequences
- PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Set CR as the newline sequence
- PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Set CRLF as the newline sequence
- PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Set LF as the newline sequence
- PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE Disable numbered capturing paren-
- theses (named ones available)
- PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-8
- validity (only relevant if
- PCRE_UTF8 is set)
- PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
- PCRE_UTF8 Run in UTF-8 mode
-</pre>
-PCRE must be built with UTF-8 support in order to use PCRE_UTF8 and
-PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK.
-</P>
-<P>
-The yield of the function is a pointer to a private data structure that
-contains the compiled pattern, or NULL if an error was detected. Note that
-compiling regular expressions with one version of PCRE for use with a different
-version is not guaranteed to work and may cause crashes.
