It is useful when a 35pattern that has been compiled on one host is transferred to another that might 36have different endianness. The arguments are: 37<pre> 38 <i>code</i> A compiled regular expression 39 <i>extra</i> Points to an associated <b>pcre[16]_extra</b> structure, 40 or is NULL 41 <i>tables</i> Pointer to character tables, or NULL to 42 set the built-in default 43</pre> 44The result is 0 for success, a negative PCRE_ERROR_xxx value otherwise. 45</P> 46<P> 47There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 48<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 49page and a description of the POSIX API in the 50<a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 51page. 52<p> 53Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 54</p> 55
