| 18 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 19 | .rs |
| 20 | .sp |
| 21 | This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified |
| 22 | by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are: |
| 23 | .sp |
| 24 | \fIcode\fP Pattern that was successfully matched |
| 25 | \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched |
| 26 | \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre_exec()\fP used |
| 27 | \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre_exec()\fP |
| 28 | \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring |
| 29 | \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string |
| 30 | \fIbuffersize\fP Size of buffer |
| 31 | .sp |
| 32 | The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was |
| 33 | too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid. |
