+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. It is the
+same as \fBpcre[16]_compile()\fP, except for the addition of the
+\fIerrorcodeptr\fP argument. The arguments are:
+.
+.sp
+ \fIpattern\fP A zero-terminated string containing the
+ regular expression to be compiled
+ \fIoptions\fP Zero or more option bits
+ \fIerrorcodeptr\fP Where to put an error code
+ \fIerrptr\fP Where to put an error message
+ \fIerroffset\fP Offset in pattern where error was found
+ \fItableptr\fP Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
+ use the built-in default
+.sp
+The option bits are:
+.sp
+ PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
+ PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
+ PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \eR matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
+ PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \eR 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_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_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-16
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF16 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 \ed, \ew, etc.
+ PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
+ PCRE_UTF16 Run \fBpcre16_compile()\fP in UTF-16 mode
+ PCRE_UTF8 Run \fBpcre_compile()\fP in UTF-8 mode
+.sp
+PCRE must be built with UTF support in order to use PCRE_UTF8/16 and
+PCRE_NO_UTF8/16_CHECK, and with UCP support if PCRE_UCP is used.
+.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.

+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreapi\fP

+page and a description of the POSIX API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreposix\fP
