SYNOPSIS
 

#include &#60;pcre2.h&#62;


int pcre2_config(uint32_t 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 PCRE2 library it is using. The
arguments are as follows:
<pre>
 what A code specifying what information is required
 where Points to where to put the information
</pre>
If where is NULL, the function returns the amount of memory needed for
the requested information. When the information is a string, the value is in
code units; for other types of data it is in bytes.


If where is not NULL, for PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET,
PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION, and PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION it must point to a
buffer that is large enough to hold the string. For all other codes it must
point to a uint32_t integer variable. The available codes are:
<pre>
 PCRE2_CONFIG_BSR Indicates what \R matches by default:
 PCRE2_BSR_UNICODE
 PCRE2_BSR_ANYCRLF
 PCRE2_CONFIG_COMPILED_WIDTHS Which of 8/16/32 support was compiled
 PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT Default backtracking depth limit
 PCRE2_CONFIG_HEAPLIMIT Default heap memory limit
 PCRE2_CONFIG_JIT Availability of just-in-time compiler support (1=yes 0=no)
 PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET Information (a string) about the target architecture for the JIT compiler
 PCRE2_CONFIG_LINKSIZE Configured internal link size (2, 3, 4)
 PCRE2_CONFIG_MATCHLIMIT Default internal resource limit
 PCRE2_CONFIG_NEVER_BACKSLASH_C Whether or not \C is disabled
 PCRE2_CONFIG_NEWLINE Code for the default newline sequence:
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_CR
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_LF
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANY
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_NUL
 PCRE2_CONFIG_PARENSLIMIT Default parentheses nesting limit
 PCRE2_CONFIG_RECURSIONLIMIT Obsolete: use PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT
 PCRE2_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE Obsolete: always returns 0
 PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE Availability of Unicode support (1=yes 0=no)
 PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION The Unicode version (a string)
 PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION The PCRE2 version (a string)
</pre>
The function yields a non-negative value on success or the negative value
PCRE2_ERROR_BADOPTION otherwise. This is also the result for the
PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET code if JIT support is not available. When a string is
requested, the function returns the number of code units used, including the
terminating zero.
