PCRE2_SET_GLOB_ESCAPE(3)

✨ PCRE2_SET_GLOB_ESCAPE(3) ✨

Library Functions Manual energy, bestie — this is the PCRE2_SET_GLOB_ESCAPE(3) page, and we are keeping it cute and factual 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API) 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_glob_escape(pcre2_convert_context *cvcontext,
         uint32_t escape_char);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion functions. Experimental, bestie — that's the whole vibe. It sets the escape character that is used when converting globs 🌀

Here's the tea on the second argument 🍓:

• It must either be zero (meaning there is no escape character at all) or a punctuation character whose code point is less than 256.
• The default is the grave accent if running under Windows, otherwise the backslash.
• The result of the function is zero for success, or PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA if the second argument is invalid.

The pattern conversion functions are described in the pcre2convert documentation 📚
