PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
|

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.rs
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
|
||

.PP

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.rs
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name into
|
||
|
newly acquired memory. The arguments are:
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
\fImatch_data\fP The match data for the match
|
||
|
\fIname\fP Name of the required substring
|
||
|
\fIbufferptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
|
||
|
\fIbufflen\fP Where to put the string length
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling the same
|
||
|
memory allocation function that was used for the match data block. The
|
||
|
convenience function \fBpcre2_substring_free()\fP can be used to free it when
|
||
|
it is no longer needed. The yield of the function is zero for success,
|
||
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
|
||
|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
