NAME
       PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre.h>

       int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *code,
	    const char *name, char **first, char **last);

DESCRIPTION

       This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and
       last entries for a given name in the table that	translates  capturing
       parenthesis  names  into numbers. When names are required to be unique
       (PCRE_DUPNAMES  is  not	set),	it   is	  usually   easier   to	  use
       pcre_get_stringnumber() instead.

	 code	 Compiled regular expression
	 name	 Name whose entries required
	 first	 Where to return a pointer to the first entry
	 last	 Where to return a pointer to the last entry

       The   yield   of	 the  function	is  the	 length	 of  each  entry,  or
       PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE native API, including  the
       format of the table entries, in the pcreapi page, and a description of
       the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
