.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
 | 
						|
string, using an alternative matching algorithm that scans the subject string
 | 
						|
just once (\fInot\fP Perl-compatible). (The Perl-compatible matching function
 | 
						|
is \fBpcre2_match()\fP.) The arguments for this function are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fIcode\fP         Points to the compiled pattern
 | 
						|
  \fIsubject\fP      Points to the subject string
 | 
						|
  \fIlength\fP       Length of the subject string
 | 
						|
  \fIstartoffset\fP  Offset in the subject at which to start matching
 | 
						|
  \fIoptions\fP      Option bits
 | 
						|
  \fImatch_data\fP   Points to a match data block, for results
 | 
						|
  \fImcontext\fP     Points to a match context, or is NULL
 | 
						|
  \fIworkspace\fP    Points to a vector of ints used as working space
 | 
						|
  \fIwscount\fP      Number of elements in the vector
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
For \fBpcre2_dfa_match()\fP, a match context is needed only if you want to set
 | 
						|
up a callout function. The \fIlength\fP and \fIstartoffset\fP values are code
 | 
						|
units, not characters. The options are:
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_ANCHORED          Match only at the first position
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_NOTBOL            Subject is not the beginning of a line
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_NOTEOL            Subject is not the end of a line
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_NOTEMPTY          An empty string is not a valid match
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART  An empty string at the start of the subject
 | 
						|
                           is not a valid match
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK      Do not check the subject for UTF
 | 
						|
                           validity (only relevant if PCRE2_UTF
 | 
						|
                           was set at compile time)
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_PARTIAL_SOFT      Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
 | 
						|
                            match if no full matches are found
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD      Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
 | 
						|
                           even if there is a full match as well
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_DFA_RESTART       Restart after a partial match
 | 
						|
  PCRE2_DFA_SHORTEST      Return only the shortest match
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
There are restrictions on what may appear in a pattern when using this matching
 | 
						|
function. Details are given in the
 | 
						|
.\" HREF
 | 
						|
\fBpcre2matching\fP
 | 
						|
.\"
 | 
						|
documentation. For details of partial matching, see the
