NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       void pcre2_match_data_free(pcre2_match_data *match_data);

DESCRIPTION

       If  match_data  is NULL, this function does nothing. Otherwise, match_data must point to a
       match data block, which this function frees, using the memory freeing  function  from  the
       general  context  or compiled pattern with which it was created, or free() if that was not
       set.

       If the PCRE2_COPY_MATCHED_SUBJECT was used for a successful match using  this  match  data
       block, the copy of the subject that was remembered with the block is also freed.

       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.
