    12 .SH DESCRIPTION

    13 .rs

    14 .sp

    15 This function builds a set of character tables for character values less than

    16 256. These can be passed to \fBpcre_compile()\fP to override PCRE's internal,

    17 built-in tables (which were made by \fBpcre_maketables()\fP when PCRE was

    18 compiled). You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.

    19 The function yields a pointer to the tables.
