29 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
30 by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
32 \fIcode\fP Pattern that was successfully matched
33 \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
34 \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
35 \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
36 \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
37 \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
38 \fIbuffersize\fP Size of buffer
40 The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
41 too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
