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 match data block was previously
       passed to pcre2_match(), it will have an attached heapframe vector; this is also freed.

       If the PCRE2_COPY_MATCHED_SUBJECT was used for a successful match using this match data block,  the  copy
       of the subject that was referenced within 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.
