PCRE2_SET_BSR(3)

💖 PCRE2_SET_BSR 💖

okay so welcome to the PCRE2 girlies — that's Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API), in case you were wondering, and yes this whole little family of pages lives under the Library Functions Manual umbrella. bestie, we're about to set a convention, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the exact spelling, no cap:

#include <pcre2.h>

int pcre2_set_bsr(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
  uint32_t value);

two arguments, one int back, classic. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this function sets the convention for processing \R within a compile context — literally what it says on the tin, no extra lore. ✨

the second argument (value, the uint32_t one, iykyk) must be one of these two icons:

• PCRE2_BSR_ANYCRLF
• PCRE2_BSR_UNICODE

that's the whole vibe check — those are the only two allowed, fr fr. 🙈

and the result?

• zero → slay, success 💖
• PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA → if that second argument is invalid, like it just didn't pass, bestie 😭

⚠️ heads up: invalid value doesn't get fixed up for you — it's a PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA return, periodt.

if you want the whole complete description of the PCRE2 native API, that lives over on the pcre2api page 🦋, and if POSIX is more your thing, the POSIX API is described on the pcre2posix page 🌈.
