.TH PCRE2_SERIALIZE_DECODE 3 "19 January 2015" "PCRE2 10.10"
 |

.SH NAME
 | 
						|
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
.nf
 | 
						|
.B int32_t pcre2_serialize_decode(pcre2_code **\fIcodes\fP,
 | 
						|
.B "  int32_t \fInumber_of_codes\fP, const uint32_t *\fIbytes\fP,"
 |

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This function decodes a serialized set of compiled patterns back into a list of
 | 
						|
individual patterns. Its arguments are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fIcodes\fP            pointer to a vector in which to build the list
 | 
						|
  \fInumber_of_codes\fP  number of slots in the vector
 | 
						|
  \fIbytes\fP            the serialized byte stream
 | 
						|
  \fIgcontext\fP         pointer to a general context or NULL
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
The \fIbytes\fP argument must point to a block of data that was originally
 | 
						|
created by \fBpcre2_serialize_encode()\fP, though it may have been saved on
 | 
						|
disc or elsewhere in the meantime. If there are more codes in the serialized
 | 
						|
data than slots in the list, only those compiled patterns that will fit are
 | 
						|
decoded. The yield of the function is the number of decoded patterns, or one of
 | 
						|
the following negative error codes:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA   \fInumber_of_codes\fP is zero or less
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC  mismatch of id bytes in \fIbytes\fP
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_BADMODE   mismatch of variable unit size or PCRE version
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_MEMORY    memory allocation failed
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_NULL      \fIcodes\fP or \fIbytes\fP is NULL
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC may mean that the data is corrupt, or that it was compiled
 | 
						|
on a system with different endianness.
