It returns +offsets to what it has matched and to captured substrings via the +\fBmatch_data\fP block, which can be processed by functions with names that +start with \fBpcre2_get_ovector_...()\fP or \fBpcre2_substring_...()\fP. The +return from \fBpcre2_match()\fP is one more than the highest numbered capturing +pair that has been set (for example, 1 if there are no captures), zero if the +vector of offsets is too small, or a negative error code for no match and other +errors. The function arguments 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 +.sp +A match context is needed only if you want to: +.sp + Set up a callout function + Set a matching offset limit + Change the heap memory limit + Change the backtracking match limit + Change the backtracking depth limit + Set custom memory management specifically for the match +.sp +The \fIlength\fP and \fIstartoffset\fP values are code +units, not characters. The length may be given as PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATE for a +subject that is terminated by a binary zero code unit. The options are: +.sp + PCRE2_ANCHORED Match only at the first position + PCRE2_ENDANCHORED Pattern can match only at end of subject + PCRE2_NOTBOL Subject string is not the beginning of a line + PCRE2_NOTEOL Subject string is not the end of a line + PCRE2_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match +.\" JOIN + PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject + is not a valid match + PCRE2_NO_JIT Do not use JIT matching +.\" JOIN + PCRE2_NO_UTF_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF + validity (only relevant if PCRE2_UTF + was set at compile time) +.\" JOIN + PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial + match even if there is a full match +.\" JOIN + PCRE2_PARTIAL_SOFT Return PCRE2_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial + match if no full matches are found +.sp +For details of partial matching, see the +.\" HREF +\fBpcre2partial\fP +.\" +page.
