DESCRIPTION

</b><br>
 | 
						|
<P>
 | 
						|
This function is part of an experimental set of pattern conversion functions.
 | 
						|
It converts a foreign pattern (for example, a glob) into a PCRE2 regular
 | 
						|
expression pattern. Its arguments are:
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
  <i>pattern</i>     The foreign pattern
 | 
						|
  <i>length</i>      The length of the input pattern or PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED
 | 
						|
  <i>options</i>     Option bits
 | 
						|
  <i>buffer</i>      Pointer to pointer to output buffer, or NULL
 | 
						|
  <i>blength</i>     Pointer to output length field
 | 
						|
  <i>cvcontext</i>   Pointer to a convert context or NULL
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
The length of the converted pattern (excluding the terminating zero) is
 | 
						|
returned via <i>blength</i>. If <i>buffer</i> is NULL, the function just returns
 | 
						|
the output length. If <i>buffer</i> points to a NULL pointer, heap memory is
 | 
						|
obtained for the converted pattern, using the allocator in the context if
 | 
						|
present (or else <b>malloc()</b>), and the field pointed to by <i>buffer</i> is
 | 
						|
updated. If <i>buffer</i> points to a non-NULL field, that must point to a
 | 
						|
buffer whose size is in the variable pointed to by <i>blength</i>. This value is
 | 
						|
updated.
 | 
						|
</P>
 | 
						|
<P>
 | 
						|
The option bits are:
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_UTF                     Input is UTF
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_NO_UTF_CHECK            Do not check UTF validity
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_BASIC             Convert POSIX basic pattern
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_POSIX_EXTENDED          Convert POSIX extended pattern
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB                    ) Convert
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_WILD_SEPARATOR  )   various types
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_CONVERT_GLOB_NO_STARSTAR        )     of glob
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
The return value from <b>pcre2_pattern_convert()</b> is zero on success or a
 | 
						|
non-zero PCRE2 error code.
