+.TH PCRE_EXEC 3
+.SH NAME
+PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.rs
+.sp
+.B #include <pcre.h>
+.PP
+.SM
+.B int pcre_exec(const pcre *\fIcode\fP, "const pcre_extra *\fIextra\fP,"
+.ti +5n
+.B "const char *\fIsubject\fP," int \fIlength\fP, int \fIstartoffset\fP,
+.ti +5n
+.B int \fIoptions\fP, int *\fIovector\fP, int \fIovecsize\fP);
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
+string, using a matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It returns
+offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
+.sp
+  \fIcode\fP         Points to the compiled pattern
+  \fIextra\fP        Points to an associated \fBpcre_extra\fP structure,
+                 or is NULL
+  \fIsubject\fP      Points to the subject string
+  \fIlength\fP       Length of the subject string, in bytes
+  \fIstartoffset\fP  Offset in bytes in the subject at which to
+                 start matching
+  \fIoptions\fP      Option bits
+  \fIovector\fP      Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
+  \fIovecsize\fP     Number of elements in the vector (a multiple of 3)
+.sp
+The options are:
+.sp
+  PCRE_ANCHORED      Match only at the first position
+  PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF   \eR matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
+  PCRE_BSR_UNICODE   \eR matches all Unicode line endings
+  PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY   Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
+  PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF  Recognize CR, LF, and CRLF as newline sequences
+  PCRE_NEWLINE_CR    Set CR as the newline sequence
+  PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF  Set CRLF as the newline sequence
+  PCRE_NEWLINE_LF    Set LF as the newline sequence
+  PCRE_NOTBOL        Subject is not the beginning of a line
+  PCRE_NOTEOL        Subject is not the end of a line
+  PCRE_NOTEMPTY      An empty string is not a valid match
+  PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
+                       validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
+                       was set at compile time)
+  PCRE_PARTIAL       Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
+.sp
+There are restrictions on what may appear in a pattern when partial matching is
+requested. For details, see the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcrepartial\fP
+.\"
+page.
+.P
+A \fBpcre_extra\fP structure contains the following fields:
+.sp
+  \fIflags\fP        Bits indicating which fields are set
+  \fIstudy_data\fP   Opaque data from \fBpcre_study()\fP
+  \fImatch_limit\fP  Limit on internal resource use
+  \fImatch_limit_recursion\fP  Limit on internal recursion depth
+  \fIcallout_data\fP Opaque data passed back to callouts
+  \fItables\fP       Points to character tables or is NULL
+.sp
+The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
+PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA, and
+PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES.
+.P
+There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreapi\fP

+page and a description of the POSIX API in the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcreposix\fP
