Methods:

• public weak Regex get_regex ()
  Returns GRegex object used in match_info.
• public unowned string get_string ()
  Returns the string searched with match_info. This is the string passed to g_regex_match() or g_regex_replace() so you may not free it before calling this function.
• public bool matches ()
  Returns whether the previous match operation succeeded.
• public bool next () throws RegexError
  Scans for the next match using the same parameters of the previous call to g_regex_match_full() or g_regex_match() that returned match_info.
• public int get_match_count ()
  Retrieves the number of matched substrings (including substring 0, that is the whole matched text), so 1 is returned if the pattern has no substrings in it and 0 is returned if the match failed.
• public bool is_partial_match ()
  Usually if the string passed to g_regex_match*() matches as far as it goes, but is too short to match the entire pattern, FALSE is returned.
• public string expand_references (string string_to_expand) throws RegexError
  Returns a new string containing the text in string_to_expand with references and escape sequences expanded.
• public string? fetch (int match_num)
  Retrieves the text matching the match_num'th capturing parentheses. 0 is the full text of the match, 1 is the first paren set, 2 the second, and so on.
• public bool fetch_pos (int match_num, out int start_pos, out int end_pos)
  Retrieves the position in bytes of the match_num'th capturing parentheses. 0 is the full text of the match, 1 is the first paren set, 2 the second, and so on.
• public string? fetch_named (string name)
  Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named name.
• public bool fetch_named_pos (string name, out int start_pos, out int end_pos)
  Retrieves the position in bytes of the capturing parentheses named name.
• public string[] fetch_all ()
  Bundles up pointers to each of the matching substrings from a match and stores them in an array of gchar pointers. The first element in the returned array is the match number 0, i.e. the entire matched text.
