+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring, identified
+by name, into a given buffer. The arguments are:
+.sp
+ \fIcode\fP Pattern that was successfully matched
+ \fIsubject\fP Subject that has been successfully matched
+ \fIovector\fP Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
+ \fIstringcount\fP Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
+ \fIstringname\fP Name of the required substring
+ \fIbuffer\fP Buffer to receive the string
+ \fIbuffersize\fP Size of buffer
+.sp
+The yield is the length of the substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
+too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.
+.P
+There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
+.\" HREF

+page and a description of the POSIX API in the
