Its arguments are: 33 <pre> 34 <i>output</i> pointer to output buffer, may be the same as <i>input</i> 35 <i>input</i> pointer to input buffer 36 <i>length</i> number of 16-bit units in the input, or negative for 37 a zero-terminated string 38 <i>host_byte_order</i> a NULL value or a non-zero value pointed to means 39 start in host byte order 40 <i>keep_boms</i> if non-zero, BOMs are copied to the output string 41 </pre> 42 The result of the function is the number of 16-bit units placed into the output 43 buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated. 44 </P> 45 <P> 46 If <i>host_byte_order</i> is not NULL, it is set to indicate the byte order that 47 is current at the end of the string. 48 </P> 49 <P> 50 There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 51 <a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 52 page and a description of the POSIX API in the 53 <a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 54 page. 55 <p> 56 Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 57 </p> 58
