.SH NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.rs
.sp
.B #include <pcre2.h>
.PP
.nf
.B int pcre2_set_max_varlookbehind(pcre2_compile_context *\fIccontext\fP,
.B "  uint32_t \fIvalue\fP);"
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.rs
.sp
This sets a maximum length for the number of characters matched by a
variable-length lookbehind assertion. The default is set when PCRE2 is built,
with the ultimate default being 255, the same as Perl. Lookbehind assertions
without a bounding length are not supported. The result is always zero.
