NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       PCRE2_SPTR pcre2_get_mark(pcre2_match_data *match_data);

DESCRIPTION

       After  a  call  of  pcre2_match()  that was passed the match block that is this function's argument, this
       function returns a pointer to the last (*MARK), (*PRUNE), or (*THEN) name that was encountered during the
       matching process. The name is zero-terminated, and is within the compiled pattern. The length of the name
       is in the preceding code unit. If no name is available, NULL is returned.

       After a successful match, the name that is returned is the last one on the matching path. After a  failed
       match or a partial match, the last encountered name is returned.

       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.
