NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_max_pattern_length(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         PCRE2_SIZE value);

DESCRIPTION

       This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length (in code units) of the pattern that can
       be  compiled.  The  result  is  always zero. If a longer pattern is passed to pcre2_compile() there is an
       immediate error return. The default is effectively  unlimited,  being  the  largest  value  a  PCRE2_SIZE
       variable can hold.

       There  is  a  complete  description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api page and a description of the
       POSIX API in the pcre2posix page.
