     25 DESCRIPTION
     26 </b><br>
     27 <P>
     28 This function makes it possible for a client program to find out which optional
     29 features are available in the version of the PCRE2 library it is using. The
     30 arguments are as follows:
     31 <pre>
     32   <i>what</i>     A code specifying what information is required
     33   <i>where</i>    Points to where to put the information
     34 </pre>
     35 If <i>where</i> is NULL, the function returns the amount of memory needed for
     36 the requested information. When the information is a string, the value is in
     37 code units; for other types of data it is in bytes.
     38 </P>
     39 <P>
     40 If <b>where</b> is not NULL, for PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET,
     41 PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION, and PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION it must point to a
     42 buffer that is large enough to hold the string. For all other codes it must
     43 point to a uint32_t integer variable. The available codes are:
     44 <pre>
     45   PCRE2_CONFIG_BSR             Indicates what \R matches by default:
     46                                  PCRE2_BSR_UNICODE
     47                                  PCRE2_BSR_ANYCRLF
     48   PCRE2_CONFIG_COMPILED_WIDTHS Which of 8/16/32 support was compiled
     49   PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT      Default backtracking depth limit
     50   PCRE2_CONFIG_HEAPLIMIT       Default heap memory limit
     51   PCRE2_CONFIG_JIT             Availability of just-in-time compiler support (1=yes 0=no)
     52   PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET       Information (a string) about the target architecture for the JIT compiler
     53   PCRE2_CONFIG_LINKSIZE        Configured internal link size (2, 3, 4)
     54   PCRE2_CONFIG_MATCHLIMIT      Default internal resource limit
     55   PCRE2_CONFIG_NEVER_BACKSLASH_C  Whether or not \C is disabled
     56   PCRE2_CONFIG_NEWLINE         Code for the default newline sequence:
     57                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_CR
     58                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_LF
     59                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF
     60                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANY
     61                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF
     62                                  PCRE2_NEWLINE_NUL
     63   PCRE2_CONFIG_PARENSLIMIT     Default parentheses nesting limit
     64   PCRE2_CONFIG_RECURSIONLIMIT  Obsolete: use PCRE2_CONFIG_DEPTHLIMIT
     65   PCRE2_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE    Obsolete: always returns 0
     66   PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE         Availability of Unicode support (1=yes 0=no)
     67   PCRE2_CONFIG_UNICODE_VERSION The Unicode version (a string)
     68   PCRE2_CONFIG_VERSION         The PCRE2 version (a string)
     69 </pre>
     70 The function yields a non-negative value on success or the negative value
     71 PCRE2_ERROR_BADOPTION otherwise. This is also the result for the
     72 PCRE2_CONFIG_JITTARGET code if JIT support is not available. When a string is
     73 requested, the function returns the number of code units used, including the
     74 terminating zero.
