     34 DESCRIPTION
     35 </b><br>
     36 <P>
     37 This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and last
     38 entries for a given name in the table that translates capturing parenthesis
     39 names into numbers. When names are required to be unique (PCRE_DUPNAMES is
     40 <i>not</i> set), it is usually easier to use <b>pcre[16|32]_get_stringnumber()</b>
     41 instead.
     42 <pre>
     43   <i>code</i>    Compiled regular expression
     44   <i>name</i>    Name whose entries required
     45   <i>first</i>   Where to return a pointer to the first entry
     46   <i>last</i>    Where to return a pointer to the last entry
     47 </pre>
     48 The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or
     49 PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.
