SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcre.h>
       int pcre_get_named_substring(const pcre *code,
            const char *subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, const char *stringname,
            const char **stringptr);
       int pcre16_get_named_substring(const pcre16 *code,
            PCRE_SPTR16 subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, PCRE_SPTR16 stringname,
            PCRE_SPTR16 *stringptr);
       int pcre32_get_named_substring(const pcre32 *code,
            PCRE_SPTR32 subject, int *ovector,
            int stringcount, PCRE_SPTR32 stringname,

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by
       name. The arguments are:
         code          Compiled pattern
         subject       Subject that has been successfully matched
         ovector       Offset vector that pcre[16|32]_exec() used
         stringcount   Value returned by pcre[16|32]_exec()
         stringname    Name of the required substring
         stringptr     Where to put the string pointer
       The memory in which the substring is  placed  is  obtained  by  calling
       pcre[16|32]_malloc().  The  convenience  function pcre[16|32]_free_sub-
       string() can be used to free it when it is no longer needed. The  yield
       of   the   function   is   the   length  of  the  extracted  substring,
       PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory  could  not  be  obtained,  or
       PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
       There  is  a complete description of the PCRE native API in the pcreapi
       page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
