+This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. It is the
+same as pcre[16|32]_compile2(), except for the absence of the
+errorcodeptr argument. Its arguments are:

+SYNOPSIS
+
+
+
+pcre16 *pcre16_compile(PCRE_SPTR16 pattern, int options,
+ const char **errptr, int *erroffset,
+ const unsigned char *tableptr);
+
+
+pcre32 *pcre32_compile(PCRE_SPTR32 pattern, int options,
+ const char **errptr, int *erroffset,
+ const unsigned char *tableptr);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+
+ pattern A zero-terminated string containing the
+ regular expression to be compiled
+ options Zero or more option bits
+ errptr Where to put an error message
+ erroffset Offset in pattern where error was found
+ tableptr Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
+ use the built-in default
+
+The option bits are:
+
+ 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 white space 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_NEVER_UTF Lock out UTF, e.g. via (*UTF)
+ 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_AUTO_POSSESS Disable auto-possessification
+ PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Disable match-time start optimizations
+ PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-16
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF16 is set)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-32
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF32 is set)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-8
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF8 is set)
+ PCRE_UCP Use Unicode properties for \d, \w, etc.
+ PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
+ PCRE_UTF16 Run in pcre16_compile() UTF-16 mode
+ PCRE_UTF32 Run in pcre32_compile() UTF-32 mode
+ PCRE_UTF8 Run in pcre_compile() UTF-8 mode
+
+PCRE must be built with UTF support in order to use PCRE_UTF8/16/32 and
+PCRE_NO_UTF8/16/32_CHECK, and with UCP support if PCRE_UCP is used.
+
+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. +
++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. +
