+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
+string, using an alternative matching algorithm that scans the subject string
+just once (\fInot\fP Perl-compatible). Note that the main, Perl-compatible,
+matching function is \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP. The arguments for this function
+are:
+.sp
+ \fIcode\fP Points to the compiled pattern
+ \fIextra\fP Points to an associated \fBpcre[16|32]_extra\fP structure,
+ or is NULL
+ \fIsubject\fP Points to the subject string
+ \fIlength\fP Length of the subject string
+ \fIstartoffset\fP Offset in the subject at which to start matching
+ \fIoptions\fP Option bits
+ \fIovector\fP Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
+ \fIovecsize\fP Number of elements in the vector
+ \fIworkspace\fP Points to a vector of ints used as working space
+ \fIwscount\fP Number of elements in the vector
+.sp
+The units for \fIlength\fP and \fIstartoffset\fP are bytes for
+\fBpcre_exec()\fP, 16-bit data items for \fBpcre16_exec()\fP, and 32-bit items
+for \fBpcre32_exec()\fP. The options are:
+.sp
+ PCRE_ANCHORED Match only at the first position
+ PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \eR matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
+ PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \eR matches all Unicode line endings
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, & CRLF as newline sequences
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Recognize CR as the only newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Recognize CRLF as the only newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Recognize LF as the only newline sequence
+ PCRE_NOTBOL Subject is not the beginning of a line
+ PCRE_NOTEOL Subject is not the end of a line
+ PCRE_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
+ PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject
+ is not a valid match
+ PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Do not do "start-match" optimizations
+ PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-16
+ validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF16
+ was set at compile time)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-32
+ validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF32
+ was set at compile time)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
+ validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
+ was set at compile time)
+ PCRE_PARTIAL ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
+ PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT ) match if no full matches are found
+ PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
+ even if there is a full match as well
+ PCRE_DFA_SHORTEST Return only the shortest match
+ PCRE_DFA_RESTART Restart after a partial match
+.sp
+There are restrictions on what may appear in a pattern when using this matching
+function. Details are given in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcrematching\fP
+.\"
+documentation. For details of partial matching, see the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcrepartial\fP
+.\"
+page.
+.P
+A \fBpcre[16|32]_extra\fP structure contains the following fields:
+.sp
+ \fIflags\fP Bits indicating which fields are set
+ \fIstudy_data\fP Opaque data from \fBpcre[16|32]_study()\fP
+ \fImatch_limit\fP Limit on internal resource use
+ \fImatch_limit_recursion\fP Limit on internal recursion depth
+ \fIcallout_data\fP Opaque data passed back to callouts
+ \fItables\fP Points to character tables or is NULL
+ \fImark\fP For passing back a *MARK pointer
+ \fIexecutable_jit\fP Opaque data from JIT compilation
+.sp
+The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
+PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA,
+PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES, PCRE_EXTRA_MARK and PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT. For this
+matching function, the \fImatch_limit\fP and \fImatch_limit_recursion\fP fields
+are not used, and must not be set. The PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT flag and
+the corresponding variable are ignored.

+There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreapi\fP
+.\"
+page and a description of the POSIX API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreposix\fP
