PCRE_GET_STRINGTABLE_ENTRIES(3)                PCRE_GET_STRINGTABLE_ENTRIES(3)



NAME
       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre.h>

       int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *code,
            const char *name, char **first, char **last);

DESCRIPTION

       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 num-
       bers. When names are required to  be  unique  (PCRE_DUP-
       NAMES   is  not  set),  it  is  usually  easier  to  use
       pcre_get_stringnumber() instead.

         code    Compiled regular expression
         name    Name whose entries required
         first   Where to return a pointer to the first entry
         last    Where to return a pointer to the last entry

       The yield of the function is the length of  each  entry,
       or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.

       There  is a complete description of the PCRE native API,
       including the  format  of  the  table  entries,  in  the
       pcreapi  page, and a description of the POSIX API in the
       pcreposix page.
