+<P>
+The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression
+pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few
+differences. Some features that appeared in Python and PCRE before they
+appeared in Perl are also available using the Python syntax, there is some
+support for one or two .NET and Oniguruma syntax items, and there is an option
+for requesting some minor changes that give better JavaScript compatibility.
+</P>
+<P>
+Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile two separate PCRE
+libraries: the original, which supports 8-bit character strings (including
+UTF-8 strings), and a second library that supports 16-bit character strings
+(including UTF-16 strings). The build process allows either one or both to be
+built. The majority of the work to make this possible was done by Zoltan
+Herczeg.
+</P>
+<P>
+Starting with release 8.32 it is possible to compile a third separate PCRE
+library, which supports 32-bit character strings (including
+UTF-32 strings). The build process allows any set of the 8-, 16- and 32-bit
+libraries. The work to make this possible was done by Christian Persch.
+</P>
+<P>
+The three libraries contain identical sets of functions, except that the names
+in the 16-bit library start with <b>pcre16_</b> instead of <b>pcre_</b>, and the
+names in the 32-bit library start with <b>pcre32_</b> instead of <b>pcre_</b>. To
+avoid over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of
+the documentation describes the 8-bit library, with the differences for the
+16-bit and 32-bit libraries described separately in the
+<a href="pcre16.html"><b>pcre16</b></a>
+and
+<a href="pcre32.html"><b>pcre32</b></a>
+pages. References to functions or structures of the form <i>pcre[16|32]_xxx</i>
+should be read as meaning "<i>pcre_xxx</i> when using the 8-bit library,
+<i>pcre16_xxx</i> when using the 16-bit library, or <i>pcre32_xxx</i> when using
+the 32-bit library".
+</P>
+<P>
+The current implementation of PCRE corresponds approximately with Perl 5.12,
+including support for UTF-8/16/32 encoded strings and Unicode general category
+properties. However, UTF-8/16/32 and Unicode support has to be explicitly
+enabled; it is not the default. The Unicode tables correspond to Unicode
+release 6.2.0.
+</P>
+<P>
+In addition to the Perl-compatible matching function, PCRE contains an
+alternative function that matches the same compiled patterns in a different
+way. In certain circumstances, the alternative function has some advantages.
+For a discussion of the two matching algorithms, see the
+<a href="pcrematching.html"><b>pcrematching</b></a>
+page.
+</P>
+<P>
+PCRE is written in C and released as a C library. A number of people have
+written wrappers and interfaces of various kinds. In particular, Google Inc.
+have provided a comprehensive C++ wrapper for the 8-bit library. This is now
+included as part of the PCRE distribution. The
+<a href="pcrecpp.html"><b>pcrecpp</b></a>
+page has details of this interface. Other people's contributions can be found
+in the <i>Contrib</i> directory at the primary FTP site, which is:
+<a href="ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre">ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre</a>
+</P>
+<P>
+Details of exactly which Perl regular expression features are and are not
+supported by PCRE are given in separate documents. See the
+<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
+and
+<a href="pcrecompat.html"><b>pcrecompat</b></a>
+pages. There is a syntax summary in the
+<a href="pcresyntax.html"><b>pcresyntax</b></a>
+page.
+</P>
+<P>
+Some features of PCRE can be included, excluded, or changed when the library is
+built. The
+<a href="pcre_config.html"><b>pcre_config()</b></a>
+function makes it possible for a client to discover which features are
+available. The features themselves are described in the
+<a href="pcrebuild.html"><b>pcrebuild</b></a>
+page. Documentation about building PCRE for various operating systems can be
+found in the <b>README</b> and <b>NON-AUTOTOOLS_BUILD</b> files in the source
+distribution.
+</P>
+<P>
+The libraries contains a number of undocumented internal functions and data
+tables that are used by more than one of the exported external functions, but
+which are not intended for use by external callers. Their names all begin with
+"_pcre_" or "_pcre16_" or "_pcre32_", which hopefully will not provoke any name
+clashes. In some environments, it is possible to control which external symbols
+are exported when a shared library is built, and in these cases the
+undocumented symbols are not exported.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS</a><br>
+<P>
+If you are using PCRE in a non-UTF application that permits users to supply
+arbitrary patterns for compilation, you should be aware of a feature that
+allows users to turn on UTF support from within a pattern, provided that PCRE
+was built with UTF support. For example, an 8-bit pattern that begins with
+"(*UTF8)" or "(*UTF)" turns on UTF-8 mode, which interprets patterns and
+subjects as strings of UTF-8 characters instead of individual 8-bit characters.
+This causes both the pattern and any data against which it is matched to be
+checked for UTF-8 validity. If the data string is very long, such a check might
+use sufficiently many resources as to cause your application to lose
+performance.
+</P>
+<P>
+The best way of guarding against this possibility is to use the
+<b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> function to check the compiled pattern's options for UTF.
+</P>
+<P>
+If your application is one that supports UTF, be aware that validity checking
+can take time. If the same data string is to be matched many times, you can use
+the PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32]_CHECK option for the second and subsequent matches to
+save redundant checks.
+</P>
+<P>
+Another way that performance can be hit is by running a pattern that has a very
+large search tree against a string that will never match. Nested unlimited
+repeats in a pattern are a common example. PCRE provides some protection
+against this: see the PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT feature in the
+<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
+page.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">USER DOCUMENTATION</a><br>
+<P>
+The user documentation for PCRE comprises a number of different sections. In
+the "man" format, each of these is a separate "man page". In the HTML format,
+each is a separate page, linked from the index page. In the plain text format,
+all the sections, except the <b>pcredemo</b> section, are concatenated, for ease
+of searching. The sections are as follows:

+<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">THE PCRE 16-BIT LIBRARY</a><br>
+<P>
+Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile a PCRE library that
+supports 16-bit character strings, including UTF-16 strings, as well as or
+instead of the original 8-bit library. The majority of the work to make this
+possible was done by Zoltan Herczeg. The two libraries contain identical sets
+of functions, used in exactly the same way. Only the names of the functions and
+the data types of their arguments and results are different. To avoid
+over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of the
+PCRE documentation describes the 8-bit library, with only occasional references
+to the 16-bit library. This page describes what is different when you use the
+16-bit library.
+</P>
+<P>
+WARNING: A single application can be linked with both libraries, but you must
+take care when processing any particular pattern to use functions from just one
+library. For example, if you want to study a pattern that was compiled with
+<b>pcre16_compile()</b>, you must do so with <b>pcre16_study()</b>, not
+<b>pcre_study()</b>, and you must free the study data with
+<b>pcre16_free_study()</b>.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">THE HEADER FILE</a><br>
+<P>
+There is only one header file, <b>pcre.h</b>. It contains prototypes for all the
+functions in all libraries, as well as definitions of flags, structures, error
+codes, etc.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">THE LIBRARY NAME</a><br>
+<P>
+In Unix-like systems, the 16-bit library is called <b>libpcre16</b>, and can
+normally be accesss by adding <b>-lpcre16</b> to the command for linking an
+application that uses PCRE.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">STRING TYPES</a><br>
+<P>
+In the 8-bit library, strings are passed to PCRE library functions as vectors
+of bytes with the C type "char *". In the 16-bit library, strings are passed as
+vectors of unsigned 16-bit quantities. The macro PCRE_UCHAR16 specifies an
+appropriate data type, and PCRE_SPTR16 is defined as "const PCRE_UCHAR16 *". In
+very many environments, "short int" is a 16-bit data type. When PCRE is built,
+it defines PCRE_UCHAR16 as "unsigned short int", but checks that it really is a
+16-bit data type. If it is not, the build fails with an error message telling
+the maintainer to modify the definition appropriately.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">STRUCTURE TYPES</a><br>
+<P>
+The types of the opaque structures that are used for compiled 16-bit patterns
+and JIT stacks are <b>pcre16</b> and <b>pcre16_jit_stack</b> respectively. The
+type of the user-accessible structure that is returned by <b>pcre16_study()</b>
+is <b>pcre16_extra</b>, and the type of the structure that is used for passing
+data to a callout function is <b>pcre16_callout_block</b>. These structures
+contain the same fields, with the same names, as their 8-bit counterparts. The
+only difference is that pointers to character strings are 16-bit instead of
+8-bit types.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">16-BIT FUNCTIONS</a><br>
+<P>
+For every function in the 8-bit library there is a corresponding function in
+the 16-bit library with a name that starts with <b>pcre16_</b> instead of
+<b>pcre_</b>. The prototypes are listed above. In addition, there is one extra
+function, <b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b>. This is a utility function
+that converts a UTF-16 character string to host byte order if necessary. The
+other 16-bit functions expect the strings they are passed to be in host byte
+order.
+</P>
+<P>
+The <i>input</i> and <i>output</i> arguments of
+<b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b> may point to the same address, that is,
+conversion in place is supported. The output buffer must be at least as long as
+the input.
+</P>
+<P>
+The <i>length</i> argument specifies the number of 16-bit data units in the
+input string; a negative value specifies a zero-terminated string.
+</P>
+<P>
+If <i>byte_order</i> is NULL, it is assumed that the string starts off in host
+byte order. This may be changed by byte-order marks (BOMs) anywhere in the
+string (commonly as the first character).
+</P>
+<P>
+If <i>byte_order</i> is not NULL, a non-zero value of the integer to which it
+points means that the input starts off in host byte order, otherwise the
+opposite order is assumed. Again, BOMs in the string can change this. The final
+byte order is passed back at the end of processing.
+</P>
+<P>
+If <i>keep_boms</i> is not zero, byte-order mark characters (0xfeff) are copied
+into the output string. Otherwise they are discarded.
+</P>
+<P>
+The result of the function is the number of 16-bit units placed into the output
+buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC12" href="#TOC1">SUBJECT STRING OFFSETS</a><br>
+<P>
+The offsets within subject strings that are returned by the matching functions
+are in 16-bit units rather than bytes.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC13" href="#TOC1">NAMED SUBPATTERNS</a><br>
+<P>
+The name-to-number translation table that is maintained for named subpatterns
+uses 16-bit characters. The <b>pcre16_get_stringtable_entries()</b> function
+returns the length of each entry in the table as the number of 16-bit data
+units.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC14" href="#TOC1">OPTION NAMES</a><br>
+<P>
+There are two new general option names, PCRE_UTF16 and PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK,
+which correspond to PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK in the 8-bit library. In
+fact, these new options define the same bits in the options word. There is a
+discussion about the
+<a href="pcreunicode.html#utf16strings">validity of UTF-16 strings</a>
+in the
+<a href="pcreunicode.html"><b>pcreunicode</b></a>
+page.
+</P>
+<P>
+For the <b>pcre16_config()</b> function there is an option PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16
+that returns 1 if UTF-16 support is configured, otherwise 0. If this option is
+given to <b>pcre_config()</b> or <b>pcre32_config()</b>, or if the
+PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 option is given to <b>pcre16_config()</b>,
+the result is the PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION error.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC15" href="#TOC1">CHARACTER CODES</a><br>
+<P>
+In 16-bit mode, when PCRE_UTF16 is not set, character values are treated in the
+same way as in 8-bit, non UTF-8 mode, except, of course, that they can range
+from 0 to 0xffff instead of 0 to 0xff. Character types for characters less than
+0xff can therefore be influenced by the locale in the same way as before.
+Characters greater than 0xff have only one case, and no "type" (such as letter
+or digit).
+</P>
+<P>
+In UTF-16 mode, the character code is Unicode, in the range 0 to 0x10ffff, with
+the exception of values in the range 0xd800 to 0xdfff because those are
+"surrogate" values that are used in pairs to encode values greater than 0xffff.
+</P>
+<P>
+A UTF-16 string can indicate its endianness by special code knows as a
+byte-order mark (BOM). The PCRE functions do not handle this, expecting strings
+to be in host byte order. A utility function called
+<b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b> is provided to help with this (see
+above).
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC16" href="#TOC1">ERROR NAMES</a><br>
+<P>
+The errors PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF16_OFFSET and PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF16 correspond to
+their 8-bit counterparts. The error PCRE_ERROR_BADMODE is given when a compiled
+pattern is passed to a function that processes patterns in the other
+mode, for example, if a pattern compiled with <b>pcre_compile()</b> is passed to
+<b>pcre16_exec()</b>.
+</P>
+<P>
+There are new error codes whose names begin with PCRE_UTF16_ERR for invalid
+UTF-16 strings, corresponding to the PCRE_UTF8_ERR codes for UTF-8 strings that
+are described in the section entitled
+<a href="pcreapi.html#badutf8reasons">"Reason codes for invalid UTF-8 strings"</a>
+in the main
+<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
+page. The UTF-16 errors are:
+<pre>
+  PCRE_UTF16_ERR1  Missing low surrogate at end of string
+  PCRE_UTF16_ERR2  Invalid low surrogate follows high surrogate
+  PCRE_UTF16_ERR3  Isolated low surrogate
+  PCRE_UTF16_ERR4  Non-character
+</PRE>
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC17" href="#TOC1">ERROR TEXTS</a><br>
+<P>
+If there is an error while compiling a pattern, the error text that is passed
+back by <b>pcre16_compile()</b> or <b>pcre16_compile2()</b> is still an 8-bit
+character string, zero-terminated.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC18" href="#TOC1">CALLOUTS</a><br>
+<P>
+The <i>subject</i> and <i>mark</i> fields in the callout block that is passed to
+a callout function point to 16-bit vectors.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC19" href="#TOC1">TESTING</a><br>
+<P>
+The <b>pcretest</b> program continues to operate with 8-bit input and output
+files, but it can be used for testing the 16-bit library. If it is run with the
+command line option <b>-16</b>, patterns and subject strings are converted from
+8-bit to 16-bit before being passed to PCRE, and the 16-bit library functions
+are used instead of the 8-bit ones. Returned 16-bit strings are converted to
+8-bit for output. If both the 8-bit and the 32-bit libraries were not compiled,
+<b>pcretest</b> defaults to 16-bit and the <b>-16</b> option is ignored.
+</P>
+<P>
+When PCRE is being built, the <b>RunTest</b> script that is called by "make
+check" uses the <b>pcretest</b> <b>-C</b> option to discover which of the 8-bit,
+16-bit and 32-bit libraries has been built, and runs the tests appropriately.
+</P>
+<br><a name="SEC20" href="#TOC1">NOT SUPPORTED IN 16-BIT MODE</a><br>
+<P>
+Not all the features of the 8-bit library are available with the 16-bit
+library. The C++ and POSIX wrapper functions support only the 8-bit library,
+and the <b>pcregrep</b> program is at present 8-bit only.
