PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This is a convenience function for extracting all the captured substrings after
 | 
						|
a pattern match. It builds a list of pointers to the strings, and (optionally)
 | 
						|
a second list that contains their lengths (in code units), excluding a
 | 
						|
terminating zero that is added to each of them. All this is done in a single
 | 
						|
block of memory that is obtained using the same memory allocation function that
 | 
						|
was used to get the match data block. The convenience function
 | 
						|
\fBpcre2_substring_list_free()\fP can be used to free it when it is no longer
 | 
						|
needed. The arguments are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fImatch_data\fP    The match data block
 | 
						|
  \fIlistptr\fP       Where to put a pointer to the list
 | 
						|
  \fIlengthsptr\fP    Where to put a pointer to the lengths, or NULL
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose address is in
 | 
						|
\fIlistptr\fP. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. If \fIlengthsptr\fP is
 | 
						|
not NULL, a matching list of lengths is created, and its address is placed in
 | 
						|
\fIlengthsptr\fP. The yield of the function is zero on success or
 | 
						|
PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained.
