+#include <pcre.h> +

+int pcre_exec(const pcre *code, const pcre_extra *extra, +const char *subject, int length, int startoffset, +int options, int *ovector, int ovecsize); +

+
+DESCRIPTION +
+

+This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject +string, and returns offsets to capturing subexpressions. Its arguments are: +

+  code         Points to the compiled pattern
+  extra        Points to an associated pcre_extra structure,
+                 or is NULL
+  subject      Points to the subject string
+  length       Length of the subject string, in bytes
+  startoffset  Offset in bytes in the subject at which to
+                 start matching
+  options      Option bits
+  ovector      Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
+  ovecsize     Size of the vector (a multiple of 3)
+

+The options are: +

+  PCRE_ANCHORED      Match only at the first position
+  PCRE_NOTBOL        Subject is not the beginning of a line
+  PCRE_NOTEOL        Subject is not the end of a line
+  PCRE_NOTEMPTY      An empty string is not a valid match
+  PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
+                       validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
+                       was set at compile time)
+

+There is a complete description of the PCRE API in the +pcreapi +page. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
