30e18e3516Sopenharmony_ciThis is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring into a given
31e18e3516Sopenharmony_cibuffer. The arguments are:
32e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci<pre>
33e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  <i>match_data</i>    The match data block for the match
34e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  <i>number</i>        Number of the required substring
35e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  <i>buffer</i>        Buffer to receive the string
36e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  <i>bufflen</i>       Length of buffer
37e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci</pre>
38e18e3516Sopenharmony_ciThe <i>bufflen</i> variable is updated with the length of the extracted string,
39e18e3516Sopenharmony_ciexcluding the terminating zero. The yield of the function is zero for success
40e18e3516Sopenharmony_cior one of the following error numbers:
41e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci<pre>
42e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  PCRE2_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING   there are no groups of that number
43e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  PCRE2_ERROR_UNAVAILBLE    the ovector was too small for that group
44e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  PCRE2_ERROR_UNSET         the group did not participate in the match
45e18e3516Sopenharmony_ci  PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY      the buffer is too small
