💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the PCRE2_SET_RECURSION_LIMIT(3) page, straight outta the PCRE2 Library Functions Manual, and the name on the tin is: PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API). periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_recursion_limit(pcre2_match_context *mcontext,
         uint32_t value);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie, real talk: this function is obsolete and should not be used in new code. like, it’s giving legacy energy. use pcre2_set_depth_limit() instead. 💅

there’s a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api page, and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix page. 🦋✨

slay, that’s the whole page — sourced from PCRE2 10.47, dated 19 July 2017. go forth and regex responsibly, bestie 🫶💖
