NAME

       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS


       #include <pcre.h>

       int pcre_copy_named_substring(const pcre *code,
            const char *subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, const char *stringname,
            char *buffer, int buffersize);

       int pcre16_copy_named_substring(const pcre16 *code,
            PCRE_SPTR16 subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, PCRE_SPTR16 stringname,
            PCRE_UCHAR16 *buffer, int buffersize);

DESCRIPTION


       This  is  a  convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified by name,
       into a given buffer. The arguments are:

         code          Pattern that was successfully matched
         subject       Subject that has been successfully matched
         ovector       Offset vector that pcre[16]_exec() used
         stringcount   Value returned by pcre[16]_exec()
         stringname    Name of the required substring
         buffer        Buffer to receive the string
         buffersize    Size of buffer

       The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was too small,
       or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.

       There  is  a  complete  description  of  the  PCRE  native  API  in the pcreapi page and a
       description of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
