- DESCRIPTION
- </b><br>
- <P>
- This function encodes a list of compiled patterns into a byte stream that can
- be saved on disc or elsewhere. Note that this is not an abstract format like
- Java or .NET. Conversion of the byte stream back into usable compiled patterns
- can only happen on a host that is running the same version of PCRE2, with the
- same code unit width, and the host must also have the same endianness, pointer
- width and PCRE2_SIZE type. The arguments for <b>pcre2_serialize_encode()</b>
- are:
- <pre>
- <i>codes</i> pointer to a vector containing the list
- <i>number_of_codes</i> number of slots in the vector
- <i>serialized_bytes</i> set to point to the serialized byte stream
- <i>serialized_size</i> set to the number of bytes in the byte stream
- <i>gcontext</i> pointer to a general context or NULL
- </pre>
- The context argument is used to obtain memory for the byte stream. When the
- serialized data is no longer needed, it must be freed by calling
- <b>pcre2_serialize_free()</b>. The yield of the function is the number of
- serialized patterns, or one of the following negative error codes:
- <pre>
- PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA <i>number_of_codes</i> is zero or less
- PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC mismatch of id bytes in one of the patterns
- PCRE2_ERROR_MEMORY memory allocation failed
- PCRE2_ERROR_MIXEDTABLES the patterns do not all use the same tables
- PCRE2_ERROR_NULL an argument other than <i>gcontext</i> is NULL
- </pre>
- PCRE2_ERROR_BADMAGIC means either that a pattern's code has been corrupted, or
- that a slot in the vector does not point to a compiled pattern.
- </P>
