.SH NAME
 | 
						|
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|

.B int pcre2_substring_copy_byname(pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP,
 | 
						|
.B "  PCRE2_SPTR \fIname\fP, PCRE2_UCHAR *\fIbuffer\fP, PCRE2_SIZE *\fIbufflen\fP);"

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
 | 
						|
by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fImatch_data\fP    The match data block for the match
 | 
						|
  \fIname\fP          Name of the required substring
 | 
						|
  \fIbuffer\fP        Buffer to receive the string
 | 
						|
  \fIbufflen\fP       Length of buffer (code units)
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
The \fIbufflen\fP variable is updated to contain the length of the extracted
 | 
						|
string, excluding the trailing zero. The yield of the function is zero for
 | 
						|
success or one of the following error numbers:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING   there are no groups of that name
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE    the ovector was too small for that group
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET         the group did not participate in the match
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY      the buffer is not big enough
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
If there is more than one group with the given name, the first one that is set
 | 
						|
is returned. In this situation PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET means that no group with the
 | 
						|
given name was set.
