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  off-
     set  of the character at which the successful match started. For a non-par-
     tial 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.
