| After a call of \fBpcre2_match()\fP that was passed the match block that is |
| this function's argument, this function returns a pointer to the last (*MARK), |
| (*PRUNE), or (*THEN) name that was encountered during the matching process. The |
| name is zero-terminated, and is within the compiled pattern. The length of the |
| name is in the preceding code unit. If no name is available, NULL is returned. |
| .P |
| After a successful match, the name that is returned is the last one on the |
| matching path. After a failed match or a partial match, the last encountered |
| name is returned. |
