| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| This function ensures that the bytes in 2-byte and 4-byte values in a compiled |
| pattern are in the correct order for the current host. It is useful when a |
| pattern that has been compiled on one host is transferred to another that might |
| have different endianness. The arguments are: |
| .sp |
| \fIcode\fP A compiled regular expression |
| \fIextra\fP Points to an associated \fBpcre[16|32]_extra\fP structure, |
| or is NULL |
| \fItables\fP Pointer to character tables, or NULL to |
| set the built-in default |
| .sp |
| The result is 0 for success, a negative PCRE_ERROR_xxx value otherwise. |
| .P |
