The arguments are: 35<pre> 36 <i>subject</i> Subject that has been successfully matched 37 <i>ovector</i> Offset vector that <b>pcre[16]_exec</b> used 38 <i>stringcount</i> Value returned by <b>pcre[16]_exec</b> 39 <i>listptr</i> Where to put a pointer to the list 40</pre> 41The memory in which the substrings and the list are placed is obtained by 42calling <b>pcre[16]_malloc()</b>. The convenience function 43<b>pcre[16]_free_substring_list()</b> can be used to free it when it is no 44longer needed. A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose 45address is in <i>listptr</i>. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. The 46yield of the function is zero on success or PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient 47memory could not be obtained. 48</P> 49<P> 50There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 51<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 52page and a description of the POSIX API in the 53<a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 54page. 55<p> 56Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 57</p> 58
