SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcre.h>

       int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *code,
            const char *name, char **first, char **last);

       int pcre16_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre16 *code,
            PCRE_SPTR16 name, PCRE_UCHAR16 **first, PCRE_UCHAR16 **last);

       int pcre32_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre32 *code,
            PCRE_SPTR32 name, PCRE_UCHAR32 **first, PCRE_UCHAR32 **last);

DESCRIPTION         top

       This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first
       and last entries for a given name in the table that translates
       capturing parenthesis names into numbers. When names are required to
       be unique (PCRE_DUPNAMES is not set), it is usually easier to use
       pcre[16|32]_get_stringnumber() instead.

         code    Compiled regular expression
         name    Name whose entries required
         first   Where to return a pointer to the first entry
         last    Where to return a pointer to the last entry

       The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or
       PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE native API, including the
       format of the table entries, in the pcreapi page, and a description
       of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
