.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
\fIcode\fP Pattern that was successfully matched
\fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
\fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre_exec()\fP used
\fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre_exec()\fP
\fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
\fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
\fIbuffersize\fP Size of buffer
.sp
The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
