26DESCRIPTION
27</b><br>
28<P>
29This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and last
30entries for a given name in the table that translates capturing parenthesis
31names into numbers. When names are required to be unique (PCRE_DUPNAMES is
32<i>not</i> set), it is usually easier to use <b>pcre_get_stringnumber()</b>
33instead.
34<pre>
35  <i>code</i>    Compiled regular expression
36  <i>name</i>    Name whose entries required
37  <i>first</i>   Where to return a pointer to the first entry
38  <i>last</i>    Where to return a pointer to the last entry
39</pre>
40The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or
41PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.
