SYNOPSIS
 

#include &#60;pcre.h&#62;


int pcre_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre *code,
 pcre_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);
 
 
int pcre16_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre16 *code,
 pcre16_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);
 
 
int pcre32_pattern_to_host_byte_order(pcre32 *code,
 pcre32_extra *extra, const unsigned char *tables);

 
DESCRIPTION
 

This function ensures that the bytes in 2-byte and 4-byte values in a compiled
pattern are in the correct order for the current host. It is useful when a
pattern that has been compiled on one host is transferred to another that might
have different endianness. The arguments are:
<pre>
 code A compiled regular expression
 extra Points to an associated pcre[16|32]_extra structure,
 or is NULL
 tables Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
 set the built-in default
</pre>
The result is 0 for success, a negative PCRE_ERROR_xxx value otherwise.
