Command Definitions (MAIL-PUTJCW)
NLMATCHINIT
If comp_buf_size is 0 (zero), only a syntax check of pattern is performed and no
comp_pattern will be generated.
If NLMATCHINIT returns 0 (zero), the compilation of
pattern succeeded.
If
comp_buf_size > 0 (zero), the comp_pattern contains the compiled pattern and
comp_buf_size contains its actual size in bytes.
If NLMATCHINIT is not zero, an error occurred and NLMATCHINIT returns the error code in
return. In such cases,
pattern_len contains the zero-origin index into pattern and tells
you how far the scan has progressed (the scan may have completed). The
pattern
description and grammar are the ones used in VPLUS.
