.SH NAME
 | 
						|
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
.B #include <pcre2.h>
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
.nf
 | 
						|
.B int pcre2_substring_nametable_scan(const pcre2_code *\fIcode\fP,
 | 
						|
.B "  PCRE2_SPTR \fIname\fP, PCRE2_SPTR *\fIfirst\fP, PCRE2_SPTR *\fIlast\fP);"

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.rs
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and last
 | 
						|
entries for a given name in the table that translates capturing parenthesis
 | 
						|
names into numbers.
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
  \fIcode\fP    Compiled regular expression
 | 
						|
  \fIname\fP    Name whose entries required
 | 
						|
  \fIfirst\fP   Where to return a pointer to the first entry
 | 
						|
  \fIlast\fP    Where to return a pointer to the last entry
 | 
						|
.sp
 | 
						|
When the name is found in the table, if \fIfirst\fP is NULL, the function
 | 
						|
returns a group number, but if there is more than one matching entry, it is not
 | 
						|
defined which one. Otherwise, when both pointers have been set, the yield of
 | 
						|
the function is the length of each entry in code units. If the name is not
 | 
						|
found, PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING is returned.
 | 
						|
.P
 | 
						|
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API, including the format of
 | 
						|
the table entries, in the
 | 
						|

page, and a description of the POSIX API in the
