NAME
       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

       #include 

       int pcre_copy_named_substring(const pcre *code,
            const char *subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, const char *stringname,
            char *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_exec() used
         stringcount   Value returned by pcre_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  API  in  the
       pcreapi page.
