+.TH PCRE2_CODE_COPY 3 "26 February 2016" "PCRE2 10.22"
+.SH NAME
+PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.rs
+.sp
+.B #include <pcre2.h>
+.PP
+.nf
+.B pcre2_code *pcre2_code_copy(const pcre2_code *\fIcode\fP);
+.fi
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function makes a copy of the memory used for a compiled pattern, excluding
+any memory used by the JIT compiler. Without a subsequent call to
+\fBpcre2_jit_compile()\fP, the copy can be used only for non-JIT matching. The
+yield of the function is NULL if \fIcode\fP is NULL or if sufficient memory
+cannot be obtained.
+.P
+There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcre2api\fP
+.\"
+page and a description of the POSIX API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcre2posix\fP
+.\"
+page.
