It was generatedautomatically from the original man page. If there is any nonsense in it,please consult the man page, in case the conversion went wrong.<br><br><b>SYNOPSIS</b><br><P><b>#include <pcre2.h></b></P><P><b>int pcre2_pattern_convert(PCRE2_SPTR <i>pattern</i>, PCRE2_SIZE <i>length</i>,</b><b> uint32_t <i>options</i>, PCRE2_UCHAR **<i>buffer</i>,</b><b> PCRE2_SIZE *<i>blength</i>, pcre2_convert_context *<i>cvcontext</i>);</b></P><br><b>DESCRIPTION</b><br><P>This function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion functions.It converts a foreign pattern (for example, a glob) into a PCRE2 regularexpression pattern. Its arguments are:<pre> <i>pattern</i> The foreign pattern <i>length</i> The length of the input pattern or PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED <i>options</i> Option bits <i>buffer</i> Pointer to pointer to output buffer, or NULL <i>blength</i> Pointer to output length field <i>cvcontext</i> Pointer to a convert context or NULL</pre>The length of the converted pattern (excluding the terminating zero) isreturned via <i>blength</i>. If <i>buffer</i> is NULL, the function just returnsthe output length. If <i>buffer</i> points to a NULL pointer, heap memory isobtained for the converted pattern, using the allocator in the context ifpresent (or else <b>malloc()</b>), and the field pointed to by <i>buffer</i> isupdated. If <i>buffer</i> points to a non-NULL field, that must point to abuffer whose size is in the variable pointed to by <i>blength</i>. This value isupdated.</P><P>The option bits are:<pre> PCRE2_CONVERT_UTF Input is UTF PCRE2_CONVERT_NO_UTF_CHECK Do not check UTF validity PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_BASIC Convert POSIX basic pattern PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_EXTENDED Convert POSIX extended pattern PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB ) Convert PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_WILD_SEPARATOR ) various types PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_STARSTAR ) of glob</pre>The return value from <b>pcre2_pattern_convert()</b> is zero on success or anon-zero PCRE2 error code.</P><P>The pattern conversion functions are described in the<a href="pcre2convert.html"><b>pcre2convert</b></a>documentation.<p>Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE2 index page</a>.</p>
