PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
Contents
Description
This function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion functions. It sets the escape
character that is used when converting globs. The second argument must either be zero (meaning there is
no escape character) or a punctuation character whose code point is less than 256. The default is grave
accent if running under Windows, otherwise 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.
