     40 DESCRIPTION
     41 </b><br>
     42 <P>
     43 This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
     44 by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
     45 <pre>
     46   <i>code</i>          Pattern that was successfully matched
     47   <i>subject</i>       Subject that has been successfully matched
     48   <i>ovector</i>       Offset vector that <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> used
     49   <i>stringcount</i>   Value returned by <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>
     50   <i>stringname</i>    Name of the required substring
     51   <i>buffer</i>        Buffer to receive the string
     52   <i>buffersize</i>    Size of buffer
     53 </pre>
     54 The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
     55 too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
     56 </P>
