+.sp
+.B #include <pcre2.h>
+.PP
+.nf
+.B int pcre2_substring_copy_byname(pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP,
+.B " PCRE2_SPTR \fIname\fP, PCRE2_UCHAR *\fIbuffer\fP, PCRE2_SIZE *\fIbufflen\fP);"
+.fi

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
+by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
+.sp
+ \fImatch_data\fP The match data block for the match
+ \fIname\fP Name of the required substring
+ \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
+ \fIbufflen\fP Length of buffer (code units)
+.sp
+The \fIbufflen\fP variable is updated to contain the length of the extracted
+string, excluding the trailing zero. The yield of the function is zero for
+success or one of the following error numbers:
+.sp
+ PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING there are no groups of that name
+ PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE the ovector was too small for that group
+ PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET the group did not participate in the match
+ PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY the buffer is not big enough
+.sp
+If there is more than one group with the given name, the first one that is set
+is returned. In this situation PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET means that no group with the
+given name was set.
