.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
.rs
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
|
||
|
|
string, using a matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It returns
|
||
|
|
offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fIcode\fP Points to the compiled pattern
|
||
|
|
\fIsubject\fP Points to the subject string
|
||
|
|
\fIlength\fP Length of the subject string
|
||
|
|
\fIstartoffset\fP Offset in the subject at which to start matching
|
||
|
|
\fIoptions\fP Option bits
|
||
|
|
\fImatch_data\fP Points to a match data block, for results
|
||
|
|
\fImcontext\fP Points to a match context, or is NULL
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
A match context is needed only if you want to:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Set up a callout function
|
||
|
|
Change the limit for calling the internal function \fImatch()\fP
|
||
|
|
Change the limit for calling \fImatch()\fP recursively
|
||
|
|
Set custom memory management when the heap is used for recursion
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fIlength\fP and \fIstartoffset\fP values are code
|
||
|
|
units, not characters. The options are:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_ANCHORED Match only at the first position
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NOTBOL Subject string is not the beginning of a line
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NOTEOL Subject string is not the end of a line
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject
|
||
|
|
is not a valid match
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF
|
||
|
|
validity (only relevant if PCRE2_UTF
|
||
|
|
was set at compile time)
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_PARTIAL_SOFT Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
|
||
|
|
match if no full matches are found
|
||
|
|
PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
|
||
|
|
if that is found before a full match
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
