<p>Capturing groups refer to sub-patterns of regexes that some regex engines can
report matching offsets for. For example, matching <code>[a-z]([0-9]+)</code> against
<code>a789</code> would give <code>a789</code> as the overall match (for the implicit capturing group
at index <code>0</code>) and <code>789</code> as the match for the capturing group <code>([0-9]+)</code> (an
explicit capturing group at index <code>1</code>).</p>
<p>Not all regex engines can report match offsets for capturing groups. Indeed,
to a first approximation, regex engines that can report capturing group offsets
tend to be quite a bit slower than regex engines that cant. This is because
tracking capturing groups at search time usually requires more “power” that
in turn adds overhead.</p>
<p>Other regex implementations might call capturing groups “submatches.”</p>
<h2 id="overview"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#overview">§</a>Overview</h2>
<p>The main types in this module are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="struct.Captures.html" title="struct regex_automata::util::captures::Captures"><code>Captures</code></a> records the capturing group offsets found during a search. It
provides convenience routines for looking up capturing group offsets by either
index or name.</li>
<li><a href="struct.GroupInfo.html" title="struct regex_automata::util::captures::GroupInfo"><code>GroupInfo</code></a> records the mapping between capturing groups and “slots,”
where the latter are how capturing groups are recorded during a regex search.
This also keeps a mapping from capturing group name to index, and capture
group index to name. A <code>GroupInfo</code> is used by <code>Captures</code> internally to
provide a convenient API. It is unlikely that youll use a <code>GroupInfo</code>
directly, but for example, if youve compiled an Thompson NFA, then you can use
<a href="../../nfa/thompson/struct.NFA.html#method.group_info" title="method regex_automata::nfa::thompson::NFA::group_info"><code>thompson::NFA::group_info</code></a> to get its
underlying <code>GroupInfo</code>.</li>
</ul>
