| <h2> |
| SYNOPSIS |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| <b>#include <pcre2.h></b> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>int pcre2_next_match(pcre2_match_data *<i>match_data</i>,</b> |
| <b> PCRE2_SIZE *<i>pstart_offset</i>, uint32_t *<i>poptions</i>);</b> |
| </p> |
| <h2> |
| DESCRIPTION |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| This function can be called after one of the match functions |
| (<b>pcre2_match()</b>, <b>pcre2_dfa_match()</b>, or <b>pcre2_jit_match()</b>), and |
| must be provided with the same <i>match_data</i> parameter. It outputs the |
| appropriate parameters for searching for the next match in the same subject |
| string, and is suitable for applications providing "global" matching behaviour |
| (for example, replacing all matches in the subject, or splitting the subject on |
| all matches, or simply counting the number of matches). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| It returns 0 ("false") if there is no need to make any further match attempts, |
| or 1 ("true") if another match should be attempted. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The *<i>pstart_offset</i> and *<i>poptions</i> are set if the function returns 1. |
| The *<i>pstart_offset</i> should be passed to the next match attempt directly, |
| and the *<i>poptions</i> should be passed to the next match attempt by combining |
| with the application's match options using OR. |
