+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring into a given
+buffer. The arguments are:
+.sp
+  \fIsubject\fP       Subject that has been successfully matched
+  \fIovector\fP       Offset vector that \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP used
+  \fIstringcount\fP   Value returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP
+  \fIstringnumber\fP  Number of the required substring
+  \fIbuffer\fP        Buffer to receive the string
+  \fIbuffersize\fP    Size of buffer
+.sp
+The yield is the length of the string, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if the buffer was
+too small, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.
