The offset limit facility can be used to track progress when searching large
subject strings or to limit the extent of global substitutions. See also the
PCRE2_FIRSTLINE option, which requires a match to start within the first line
of the subject. If this is set with an offset limit, a match must occur in the
first line and also within the offset limit. In other words, whichever limit
comes first is used.

If this option is set, the start of an unanchored pattern match must be before
or at the first newline in the subject string, though the matched text may
continue over the newline. See also PCRE2_USE_OFFSET_LIMIT, which provides a
more general limiting facility. If PCRE2_FIRSTLINE is set with an offset limit,

or at the first newline in the subject string following the start of matching,
though the matched text may continue over the newline. If \fIstartoffset\fP is
non-zero, the limiting newline is not necessarily the first newline in the
subject. For example, if the subject string is "abc\enxyz" (where \en
represents a single-character newline) a pattern match for "yz" succeeds with
PCRE2_FIRSTLINE if \fIstartoffset\fP is greater than 3. See also
PCRE2_USE_OFFSET_LIMIT, which provides a more general limiting facility. If
PCRE2_FIRSTLINE is set with an offset limit, a match must occur in the first
