NAME top

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       PCRE2_SPTR pcre2_get_mark(pcre2_match_data *match_data);

DESCRIPTION top


       After a call of pcre2_match() that was passed the match block that
       is this function's argument, this function returns a pointer to
       the last (*MARK), (*PRUNE), or (*THEN) name that was encountered
       during the matching process. The name is zero-terminated, and is
       within the compiled pattern. The length of the name is in the
       preceding code unit. If no name is available, NULL is returned.

       After a successful match, the name that is returned is the last
       one on the matching path. After a failed match or a partial match,
       the last encountered name is returned.

       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.
