The function returns the number of 31 serialized patterns in the byte stream, or one of the following negative error 32 codes: 33 <pre> 34 PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC mismatch of id bytes in <i>bytes</i> 35 PCRE2_ERROR_BADMODE mismatch of variable unit size or PCRE version 36 PCRE2_ERROR_NULL the argument is NULL 37 </pre> 38 PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC may mean that the data is corrupt, or that it was compiled 39 on a system with different endianness. 40 </P> 41 <P> 42 There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the 43 <a href="pcre2api.html"><b>pcre2api</b></a> 44 page and a description of the POSIX API in the 45 <a href="pcre2posix.html"><b>pcre2posix</b></a> 46 page. 47 <p> 48 Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE2 index page</a>. 49 </p> 50
