 PCRE2_NEWLINE_LF        Linefeed only
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF      CR followed by LF only
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF   Any of the above
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANY       Any Unicode newline sequence
 PCRE2_NEWLINE_NUL       The NUL character (binary zero)

The result is zero for success or PCRE2_ERROR_BADDATA if the second argument is invalid.

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix page.
