+.TH PCRE_GET_STRINGTABLE_ENTRIES 3 "24 June 2012" "PCRE 8.30"
+.SH NAME
+PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.rs
+.sp
+.B #include <pcre.h>
+.PP
+.nf
+.B int pcre_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre *\fIcode\fP,
+.B " const char *\fIname\fP, char **\fIfirst\fP, char **\fIlast\fP);"
+.sp
+.B int pcre16_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre16 *\fIcode\fP,
+.B " PCRE_SPTR16 \fIname\fP, PCRE_UCHAR16 **\fIfirst\fP, PCRE_UCHAR16 **\fIlast\fP);"
+.sp
+.B int pcre32_get_stringtable_entries(const pcre32 *\fIcode\fP,
+.B " PCRE_SPTR32 \fIname\fP, PCRE_UCHAR32 **\fIfirst\fP, PCRE_UCHAR32 **\fIlast\fP);"
+.fi

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+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
+\fInot\fP set), it is usually easier to use \fBpcre[16|32]_get_stringnumber()\fP
+instead.
+.sp
+ \fIcode\fP Compiled regular expression
+ \fIname\fP Name whose entries required
+ \fIfirst\fP Where to return a pointer to the first entry
+ \fIlast\fP Where to return a pointer to the last entry
+.sp
+The yield of the function is the length of each entry, or
+PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if none are found.
+.P
+There is a complete description of the PCRE native API, including the format of
+the table entries, in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreapi\fP
+.\"
+page, and a description of the POSIX API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreposix\fP
+.\"
+page.
