.TH PCRE2_GET_STARTCHAR 3 "24 October 2014" "PCRE2 10.00"
 | 
						|
.SH NAME
 | 
						|
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
.nf
 | 
						|
.B PCRE2_SIZE pcre2_get_startchar(pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP);

.fi

 | 
						|
.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
After a successful call of \fBpcre2_match()\fP that was passed the match block
 | 
						|
that is this function's argument, this function returns the code unit offset of
 | 
						|
the character at which the successful match started. For a non-partial match,
 | 
						|
this can be different to the value of \fIovector[0]\fP if the pattern contains
 | 
						|
the \eK escape sequence. After a partial match, however, this value is always
 | 
						|
the same as \fIovector[0]\fP because \eK does not affect the result of a
 | 
						|
partial match.
