The arguments are: 31<pre> 32 <i>subject</i> Subject that has been successfully matched 33 <i>ovector</i> Offset vector that <b>pcre_exec</b> used 34 <i>stringcount</i> Value returned by <b>pcre_exec</b> 35 <i>listptr</i> Where to put a pointer to the list 36</pre> 37The memory in which the substrings and the list are placed is obtained by 38calling <b>pcre_malloc()</b>. The convenience function 39<b>pcre_free_substring_list()</b> can be used to free it when it is no longer 40needed. A pointer to a list of pointers is put in the variable whose address is 41in <i>listptr</i>. The list is terminated by a NULL pointer. The yield of the 42function is zero on success or PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could 43not be obtained. 44</P> 45<P> 46There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the 47<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a> 48page and a description of the POSIX API in the 49<a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a> 50page. 51<p> 52Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE index page</a>. 53</p> 54
