12.SH DESCRIPTION
13.rs
14.sp
15This function builds a set of character tables for character values less than
16256. These can be passed to \fBpcre_compile()\fP to override PCRE's internal,
17built-in tables (which were made by \fBpcre_maketables()\fP when PCRE was
18compiled). You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.
19The function yields a pointer to the tables.
