int pcre2_substring_length_byname(pcre2_match_data *match_data,
  PCRE2_SPTR name, PCRE2_SIZE *length);

This function returns the length of a matched substring, identified by name. The arguments are:

 match_data   The match data block for the match
 name         The substring name
 length       Where to return the length, or NULL

The third argument may be NULL if all you want to know is whether or not a substring is set. The yield is zero on success, or a negative error code otherwise.
