                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: .rs
                     28: .sp
                     29: This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name. The
                     30: arguments are:
                     31: .sp
                     32:   \fIcode\fP          Compiled pattern
                     33:   \fIsubject\fP       Subject that has been successfully matched
1.1.1.2   misho      34:   \fIovector\fP       Offset vector that \fBpcre[16]_exec()\fP used
                     35:   \fIstringcount\fP   Value returned by \fBpcre[16]_exec()\fP
1.1       misho      36:   \fIstringname\fP    Name of the required substring
                     37:   \fIstringptr\fP     Where to put the string pointer
                     38: .sp
                     39: The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
1.1.1.2   misho      40: \fBpcre[16]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
                     41: \fBpcre[16]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
                     42: needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring,
                     43: PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
                     44: PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
