PCRE2_MATCH_DATA_CREATE
Section: C Library Functions (3) Updated: 28 August 2021 Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
PCRE2- Per-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre2.h>
pcre2_match_data *pcre2_match_data_create(uint32_t ovecsize,
pcre2_general_context *gcontext);
DESCRIPTION
This function creates a new match data block, which is used for holding the
result of a match. The first argument specifies the number of pairs of offsets
that are required. These form the "output vector" (ovector) within the match
data block, and are used to identify the matched string and any captured
substrings when matching with pcre2_match(), or a number of different
matches at the same point when used with pcre2_dfa_match(). There is
always one pair of offsets; if ovecsize is zero, it is treated as one.
The second argument points to a general context, for custom memory management,
or is NULL for system memory management. The result of the function is NULL if
the memory for the block could not be obtained.
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
pcre2api
page and a description of the POSIX API in the
pcre2posix
page.
