+DESCRIPTION
+</b><br>
+<P>
+After a successful call of <b>pcre2_match()</b> 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 <i>ovector[0]</i> if the pattern contains
+the \K escape sequence. After a partial match, however, this value is always
+the same as <i>ovector[0]</i> because \K does not affect the result of a
+partial match.
