- DESCRIPTION
- </b><br>
- <P>
- This function creates a new match data block, which is used for holding the
- result of a match. The first argument specifies the number of pairs of offsets
- that are required. These form the "output vector" (ovector) within the match
- data block, and are used to identify the matched string and any captured
- substrings when matching with <b>pcre2_match()</b>, or a number of different
- matches at the same point when used with <b>pcre2_dfa_match()</b>. There is
- always one pair of offsets; if <b>ovecsize</b> is zero, it is treated as one.
- </P>
- <P>
- The second argument points to a general context, for custom memory management,
- or is NULL for system memory management. The result of the function is NULL if
- the memory for the block could not be obtained.
