SYNOPSIS
 

#include &#60;pcre2.h&#62;


PCRE2_SIZE pcre2_get_startchar(pcre2_match_data *match_data);

 
DESCRIPTION
 

After a successful call of pcre2_match() that was passed the match block
that is this function's argument, this function returns the code unit offset of
the character at which the successful match started. For a non-partial match,
this can be different to the value of ovector[0] if the pattern contains
the \K escape sequence. After a partial match, however, this value is always
the same as ovector[0] because \K does not affect the result of a
partial match.
