+--- Matches the given `pattern` against the `subject` string. If the match succeeds, returns the index in the
+--- subject of the first character after the match, or the captured values (if the pattern captured any value).
+--- An optional numeric argument `init` makes the match start at that position in the subject string. As usual
+--- in Lua libraries, a negative value counts from the end. Unlike typical pattern-matching functions, `match`
+--- works only in anchored mode; that is, it tries to match the pattern with a prefix of the given subject
+--- string (at position `init`), not with an arbitrary substring of the subject. So, if we want to find a
+--- pattern anywhere in a string, we must either write a loop in Lua or write a pattern that
+--- matches anywhere.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local pattern = lpeg.R("az") ^ 1 * -1

+
+--- Sets a limit for the size of the backtrack stack used by LPeg to track calls and choices.
+--- The default limit is `400`. Most well-written patterns need little backtrack levels and
+--- therefore you seldom need to change this limit; before changing it you should try to rewrite
+--- your pattern to avoid the need for extra space. Nevertheless, a few useful patterns may overflow.
+--- Also, with recursive grammars, subjects with deep recursion may also need larger limits.

+--- Converts the given value into a proper pattern. This following rules are applied:
+--- * If the argument is a pattern, it is returned unmodified.
+--- * If the argument is a string, it is translated to a pattern that matches the string literally.
+--- * If the argument is a non-negative number `n`, the result is a pattern that matches exactly `n` characters.
+--- * If the argument is a negative number `-n`, the result is a pattern that succeeds only if
+--- the input string has less than `n` characters left: `lpeg.P(-n)` is equivalent to `-lpeg.P(n)`
+--- (see the unary minus operation).
+--- * If the argument is a boolean, the result is a pattern that always succeeds or always fails
+--- (according to the boolean value), without consuming any input.
+--- * If the argument is a table, it is interpreted as a grammar (see Grammars).
+--- * If the argument is a function, returns a pattern equivalent to a match-time captureover the empty string.

+
+--- Returns a pattern that matches only if the input string at the current position is preceded by `patt`.
+--- Pattern `patt` must match only strings with some fixed length, and it cannot contain captures.
+--- Like the and predicate, this pattern never consumes any input, independently of success or failure.

+
+--- Returns a pattern that matches any single character belonging to one of the given ranges.
+--- Each `range` is a string `xy` of length 2, representing all characters with code between the codes of
+--- `x` and `y` (both inclusive). As an example, the pattern `lpeg.R("09")` matches any digit, and
+--- `lpeg.R("az", "AZ")` matches any ASCII letter.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local pattern = lpeg.R("az") ^ 1 * -1

+--- @param ... string
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Pattern

+
+--- Returns a pattern that matches any single character that appears in the given string (the `S` stands for Set).
+--- As an example, the pattern `lpeg.S("+-*/")` matches any arithmetic operator. Note that, if `s` is a character
+--- (that is, a string of length 1), then `lpeg.P(s)` is equivalent to `lpeg.S(s)` which is equivalent to
+--- `lpeg.R(s..s)`. Note also that both `lpeg.S("")` and `lpeg.R()` are patterns that always fail.

+
+--- Creates a non-terminal (a variable) for a grammar. This operation creates a non-terminal (a variable)

+--- ```lua
+--- local b = lpeg.P({"(" * ((1 - lpeg.S "()") + lpeg.V(1)) ^ 0 * ")"})
+--- assert(b:match('((string))') == 11)

+--- Returns a table with patterns for matching some character classes according to the current locale.
+--- The table has fields named `alnum`, `alpha`, `cntrl`, `digit`, `graph`, `lower`, `print`, `punct`,
+--- `space`, `upper`, and `xdigit`, each one containing a correspondent pattern. Each pattern matches
+--- any single character that belongs to its class.
+--- If called with an argument `table`, then it creates those fields inside the given table and returns
+--- that table.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- lpeg.locale(lpeg)
+--- local space = lpeg.space^0
+--- local name = lpeg.C(lpeg.alpha^1) * space
+--- local sep = lpeg.S(",;") * space
+--- local pair = lpeg.Cg(name * "=" * space * name) * sep^-1
+--- local list = lpeg.Cf(lpeg.Ct("") * pair^0, rawset)
+--- local t = list:match("a=b, c = hi; next = pi")
+--- assert(t.a == 'b')
+--- assert(t.c == 'hi')
+--- assert(t.next == 'pi')
+--- local locale = lpeg.locale()
+--- assert(type(locale.digit) == 'userdata')
+--- ```
+---
+--- @param tab? table
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Locale
+function vim.lpeg.locale(tab) end
+
+--- Creates a simple capture, which captures the substring of the subject that matches `patt`.
+--- The captured value is a string. If `patt` has other captures, their values are returned after this one.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local function split (s, sep)
+---   sep = lpeg.P(sep)
+---   local elem = lpeg.C((1 - sep)^0)
+---   local p = elem * (sep * elem)^0
+---   return lpeg.match(p, s)
+--- end
+--- local a, b, c = split('a,b,c', ',')
+--- assert(a == 'a')
+--- assert(b == 'b')
+--- assert(c == 'c')
+--- ```
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.C(patt) end
+
+--- Creates an argument capture. This pattern matches the empty string and produces the value given as the
+--- nth extra argument given in the call to `lpeg.match`.
+--- @param n integer
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Carg(n) end
+
+--- Creates a back capture. This pattern matches the empty string and produces the values produced by the most recent
+--- group capture named `name` (where `name` can be any Lua value). Most recent means the last complete outermost
+--- group capture with the given name. A Complete capture means that the entire pattern corresponding to the capture
+--- has matched. An Outermost capture means that the capture is not inside another complete capture.
+--- In the same way that LPeg does not specify when it evaluates captures, it does not specify whether it reuses
+--- values previously produced by the group or re-evaluates them.
+---
+--- @param name any
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cb(name) end
+
+--- Creates a constant capture. This pattern matches the empty string and produces all given values as its captured values.
+---
+--- @param ... any
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cc(...) end
+
+--- Creates a fold capture. If `patt` produces a list of captures C1 C2 ... Cn, this capture will produce the value
+--- `func(...func(func(C1, C2), C3)...,Cn)`, that is, it will fold (or accumulate, or reduce) the captures from
+--- `patt` using function `func`. This capture assumes that `patt` should produce at least one capture with at
+--- least one value (of any type), which becomes the initial value of an accumulator. (If you need a specific
+--- initial value, you may prefix a constant captureto `patt`.) For each subsequent capture, LPeg calls `func`
+--- with this accumulator as the first argument and all values produced by the capture as extra arguments;
+--- the first result from this call becomes the new value for the accumulator. The final value of the accumulator
+--- becomes the captured value.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local number = lpeg.R("09") ^ 1 / tonumber
+--- local list = number * ("," * number) ^ 0
+--- local function add(acc, newvalue) return acc + newvalue end
+--- local sum = lpeg.Cf(list, add)
+--- assert(sum:match("10,30,43") == 83)
+--- ```
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern
+--- @param func fun(acc, newvalue)
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cf(patt, func) end
+
+--- Creates a group capture. It groups all values returned by `patt` into a single capture.
+--- The group may be anonymous (if no name is given) or named with the given name (which
+--- can be any non-nil Lua value).
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern
+--- @param name? string
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cg(patt, name) end
+
+--- Creates a position capture. It matches the empty string and captures the position in the
+--- subject where the match occurs. The captured value is a number.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local I = lpeg.Cp()
+--- local function anywhere(p) return lpeg.P({I * p * I + 1 * lpeg.V(1)}) end
+--- local match_start, match_end = anywhere("world"):match("hello world!")
+--- assert(match_start == 7)
+--- assert(match_end == 12)
+--- ```
+---
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cp() end
+
+--- Creates a substitution capture. This function creates a substitution capture, which
+--- captures the substring of the subject that matches `patt`, with substitutions.
+--- For any capture inside `patt` with a value, the substring that matched the capture
+--- is replaced by the capture value (which should be a string). The final captured
+--- value is the string resulting from all replacements.
+---
+--- Example:
+--- ```lua
+--- local function gsub (s, patt, repl)
+---   patt = lpeg.P(patt)
+---   patt = lpeg.Cs((patt / repl + 1)^0)
+---   return lpeg.match(patt, s)
+--- end
+--- assert(gsub('Hello, xxx!', 'xxx', 'World') == 'Hello, World!')
+--- ```
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cs(patt) end
+
+--- Creates a table capture. This capture returns a table with all values from all anonymous captures
+--- made by `patt` inside this table in successive integer keys, starting at 1.
+--- Moreover, for each named capture group created by `patt`, the first value of the group is put into
+--- the table with the group name as its key. The captured value is only the table.
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern|''
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Ct(patt) end
+
+--- Creates a match-time capture. Unlike all other captures, this one is evaluated immediately when a match occurs
+--- (even if it is part of a larger pattern that fails later). It forces the immediate evaluation of all its nested captures
+--- and then calls `function`. The given function gets as arguments the entire subject, the current position
+--- (after the match of `patt`), plus any capture values produced by `patt`. The first value returned by `function`
+--- defines how the match happens. If the call returns a number, the match succeeds and the returned number
+--- becomes the new current position. (Assuming a subject sand current position i, the returned number must be
+--- in the range [i, len(s) + 1].) If the call returns true, the match succeeds without consuming any input
+--- (so, to return true is equivalent to return i). If the call returns false, nil, or no value, the match fails.
+--- Any extra values returned by the function become the values produced by the capture.
+---
+--- @param patt vim.lpeg.Pattern
+--- @param fn function
+--- @return vim.lpeg.Capture
+function vim.lpeg.Cmt(patt, fn) end
