PCRE2_GET_STARTCHAR(3)	   Library Functions Manual	PCRE2_GET_STARTCHAR(3)

NAME
       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

       #include	<pcre2.h>

       PCRE2_SIZE pcre2_get_startchar(pcre2_match_data *match_data);

DESCRIPTION

       After  a	 successful  call  of  pcre2_match() that was passed the match
       block that is this function's argument, this function returns the  code
       unit offset of the character at which the successful match started. For
       a  non-partial  match, this can be different to the value of ovector[0]
       if the pattern contains the \K escape sequence. After a partial	match,
       however,	 this  value  is always	the same as ovector[0] because \K does
       not affect the result of	a partial match.

       There is	a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api
       page and	a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix page.
