.rs

.sp
|
21 |
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
|
22 |
string, using an alternative matching algorithm that scans the subject string
|
23 |
just once (\fInot\fP Perl-compatible). Note that the main, Perl-compatible,
|
24 |
matching function is \fBpcre_exec()\fP. The arguments for this function are:
|
25 |
.sp
|
26 |
\fIcode\fP Points to the compiled pattern
|
27 |
\fIextra\fP Points to an associated \fBpcre_extra\fP structure,
|
28 |
or is NULL
|
29 |
\fIsubject\fP Points to the subject string
|
30 |
\fIlength\fP Length of the subject string, in bytes
|
31 |
\fIstartoffset\fP Offset in bytes in the subject at which to
|
32 |
start matching
|
33 |
\fIoptions\fP Option bits
|
34 |
\fIovector\fP Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
|
35 |
\fIovecsize\fP Number of elements in the vector
|
36 |
\fIworkspace\fP Points to a vector of ints used as working space
|
37 |
\fIwscount\fP Number of elements in the vector
|
38 |
.sp
|
39 |
The options are:
|
40 |
.sp
|
41 |
PCRE_ANCHORED Match only at the first position
|
42 |
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
|
43 |
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, and CRLF as newline sequences
|
44 |
PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Set CR as the newline sequence
|
45 |
PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Set CRLF as the newline sequence
|
46 |
PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Set LF as the newline sequence
|
47 |
PCRE_NOTBOL Subject is not the beginning of a line
|
48 |
PCRE_NOTEOL Subject is not the end of a line
|
49 |
PCRE_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
|
50 |
PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
|
51 |
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
|
52 |
was set at compile time)
|
53 |
PCRE_PARTIAL Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
|
54 |
PCRE_DFA_SHORTEST Return only the shortest match
|
55 |
PCRE_DFA_RESTART This is a restart after a partial match
|
56 |
.sp
|
57 |
There are restrictions on what may appear in a pattern when using this matching
|
58 |
function. Details are given in the
|
59 |
.\" HREF

documentation.

.P
|
64 |
A \fBpcre_extra\fP structure contains the following fields:
|
65 |
.sp
|
66 |
\fIflags\fP Bits indicating which fields are set
|
67 |
\fIstudy_data\fP Opaque data from \fBpcre_study()\fP
|
68 |
\fImatch_limit\fP Limit on internal resource use
|
69 |
\fImatch_limit_recursion\fP Limit on internal recursion depth
|
70 |
\fIcallout_data\fP Opaque data passed back to callouts
|
71 |
\fItables\fP Points to character tables or is NULL
|
72 |
.sp
|
73 |
The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
|
74 |
PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA, and
|
75 |
PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES. For this matching function, the \fImatch_limit\fP and
|
76 |
\fImatch_limit_recursion\fP fields are not used, and must not be set.
