I was über lazy at first, so took libs from SM. But actually it's quite easy to compile, so let's update to latest version \o/.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.rs
|
|
.sp
|
|
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
|
|
string, using a matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It returns
|
|
offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fIcode\fP Points to the compiled pattern
|
|
\fIextra\fP Points to an associated \fBpcre[16|32]_extra\fP structure,
|
|
or is NULL
|
|
\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
|
|
\fIovector\fP Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
|
|
\fIovecsize\fP Number of elements in the vector (a multiple of 3)
|
|
.sp
|
|
The units for \fIlength\fP and \fIstartoffset\fP are bytes for
|
|
\fBpcre_exec()\fP, 16-bit data items for \fBpcre16_exec()\fP, and 32-bit items
|
|
for \fBpcre32_exec()\fP. The options are:
|
|
.sp
|
|
PCRE_ANCHORED Match only at the first position
|
|
PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \eR matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
|
|
PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \eR matches all Unicode line endings
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, & CRLF as newline sequences
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Recognize CR as the only newline sequence
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Recognize CRLF as the only newline sequence
|
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Recognize LF as the only newline sequence
|
|
PCRE_NOTBOL Subject string is not the beginning of a line
|
|
PCRE_NOTEOL Subject string is not the end of a line
|
|
PCRE_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
|
|
PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject
|
|
is not a valid match
|
|
PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Do not do "start-match" optimizations
|
|
PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-16
|
|
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF16
|
|
was set at compile time)
|
|
PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-32
|
|
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF32
|
|
was set at compile time)
|
|
PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
|
|
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
|
|
was set at compile time)
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT ) match if no full matches are found
|
|
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
|
|
if that is found before a full match
|
|
.sp
|
|
For details of partial matching, see the
|
|
.\" HREF
|
|
\fBpcrepartial\fP
|
|
.\"
|
|
page. A \fBpcre_extra\fP structure contains the following fields:
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fIflags\fP Bits indicating which fields are set
|
|
\fIstudy_data\fP Opaque data from \fBpcre[16|32]_study()\fP
|
|
\fImatch_limit\fP Limit on internal resource use
|
|
\fImatch_limit_recursion\fP Limit on internal recursion depth
|
|
\fIcallout_data\fP Opaque data passed back to callouts
|
|
\fItables\fP Points to character tables or is NULL
|
|
\fImark\fP For passing back a *MARK pointer
|
|
\fIexecutable_jit\fP Opaque data from JIT compilation
|
|
.sp
|
|
The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
|
|
PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA,
|
|
PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES, PCRE_EXTRA_MARK and PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT.
