     26 DESCRIPTION
     27 </b><br>
     28 <P>
     29 This function returns the length of a matched substring, identified by number.
     30 The arguments are:
     31 <pre>
     32   <i>match_data</i>   The match data block for the match
     33   <i>number</i>       The substring number
     34   <i>length</i>       Where to return the length, or NULL
     35 </pre>
     36 The third argument may be NULL if all you want to know is whether or not a
     37 substring is set. The yield is zero on success, or a negative error code
     38 otherwise. After a partial match, only substring 0 is available.
     39 </P>
