34: .SH DESCRIPTION
35: .rs
36: .sp
37: This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name. The
38: arguments are:
39: .sp
40: \fIcode\fP Compiled pattern
41: \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
1.1.1.4 ! misho 42: \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
! 43: \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
1.1 misho 44: \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
45: \fIstringptr\fP Where to put the string pointer
46: .sp
47: The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
1.1.1.4 ! misho 48: \fBpcre[16|32]_malloc()\fP. The convenience function
! 49: \fBpcre[16|32]_free_substring()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
1.1.1.2 misho 50: needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring,
51: PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
52: PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
