+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function returns information about a compiled pattern. Its arguments are:
+.sp
+ \fIcode\fP Compiled regular expression
+ \fIextra\fP Result of \fBpcre[16|32]_study()\fP or NULL
+ \fIwhat\fP What information is required
+ \fIwhere\fP Where to put the information
+.sp
+The following information is available:
+.sp
+ PCRE_INFO_BACKREFMAX Number of highest back reference
+ PCRE_INFO_CAPTURECOUNT Number of capturing subpatterns
+ PCRE_INFO_DEFAULT_TABLES Pointer to default tables
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTBYTE Fixed first data unit for a match, or
+ -1 for start of string
+ or after newline, or
+ -2 otherwise
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTTABLE Table of first data units (after studying)
+ PCRE_INFO_HASCRORLF Return 1 if explicit CR or LF matches exist
+ PCRE_INFO_JCHANGED Return 1 if (?J) or (?-J) was used
+ PCRE_INFO_JIT Return 1 after successful JIT compilation
+ PCRE_INFO_JITSIZE Size of JIT compiled code
+ PCRE_INFO_LASTLITERAL Literal last data unit required
+ PCRE_INFO_MINLENGTH Lower bound length of matching strings
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMECOUNT Number of named subpatterns
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMEENTRYSIZE Size of name table entry
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMETABLE Pointer to name table
+ PCRE_INFO_OKPARTIAL Return 1 if partial matching can be tried
+ (always returns 1 after release 8.00)
+ PCRE_INFO_OPTIONS Option bits used for compilation
+ PCRE_INFO_SIZE Size of compiled pattern
+ PCRE_INFO_STUDYSIZE Size of study data
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTCHARACTER Fixed first data unit for a match
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTCHARACTERFLAGS Returns
+ 1 if there is a first data character set, which can
+ then be retrieved using PCRE_INFO_FIRSTCHARACTER,
+ 2 if the first character is at the start of the data
+ string or after a newline, and
+ 0 otherwise
+ PCRE_INFO_REQUIREDCHAR Literal last data unit required
+ PCRE_INFO_REQUIREDCHARFLAGS Returns 1 if the last data character is set (which can then
+ be retrieved using PCRE_INFO_REQUIREDCHAR); 0 otherwise
+.sp
+The \fIwhere\fP argument must point to an integer variable, except for the
+following \fIwhat\fP values:
+.sp
+ PCRE_INFO_DEFAULT_TABLES const unsigned char *
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTTABLE const unsigned char *
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMETABLE PCRE_SPTR16 (16-bit library)
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMETABLE PCRE_SPTR32 (32-bit library)
+ PCRE_INFO_NAMETABLE const unsigned char * (8-bit library)
+ PCRE_INFO_OPTIONS unsigned long int
+ PCRE_INFO_SIZE size_t
+ PCRE_INFO_FIRSTCHARACTER uint32_t
+ PCRE_INFO_REQUIREDCHAR uint32_t
+.sp
+The yield of the function is zero on success or:
+.sp
+ PCRE_ERROR_NULL the argument \fIcode\fP was NULL
+ the argument \fIwhere\fP was NULL
+ PCRE_ERROR_BADMAGIC the "magic number" was not found
+ PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION the value of \fIwhat\fP was invalid
+.P
