| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| After a successful call of \fBpcre2_match()\fP 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 \fIovector[0]\fP if the pattern contains |
| the \eK escape sequence. After a partial match, however, this value is always |
| the same as \fIovector[0]\fP because \eK does not affect the result of a |
| partial match. |
