SYNOPSIS
 

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


const unsigned char *pcre2_maketables(pcre2_general_context *gcontext);

 
DESCRIPTION
 

This function builds a set of character tables for character code points that
are less than 256. These can be passed to pcre2_compile() in a compile
context in order to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either
defaulted or made by pcre2_maketables() when PCRE2 was compiled). See the
<a href="pcre2_set_character_tables.html">pcre2_set_character_tables()</a>
page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.


If the argument is NULL, malloc() is used to get memory for the tables.
Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a
custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables.


There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
<a href="pcre2api.html">pcre2api</a>
page and a description of the POSIX API in the
<a href="pcre2posix.html">pcre2posix</a>
page.
