These can be passed to <b>pcre_compile()</b> to override PCRE's internal, 30built-in tables (which were made by <b>pcre_maketables()</b> when PCRE was 31compiled). You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale. 32The function yields a pointer to the tables. 33</P> 34<P> 35There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 36<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 37page and a description of the POSIX API in the 38<a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 39page. 40<p> 41Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 42</p> 43
