#### Instance methods

###### vte_terminal_check_hyperlink_at

Returns a nonempty string: the target of the explicit hyperlink (printed using the OSC 8 escape sequence) at the position (x, y), or `NULL`.

Available since: 0.70

###### vte_terminal_check_match_at

Checks if the text in and around the position (x, y) matches any of the regular expressions previously set using vte_terminal_match_add(). If a match exists, the text string is returned and if `tag` is not `NULL`, the number associated with the matched regular expression will be stored in `tag`.

Available since: 0.70

###### vte_terminal_check_regex_array_at

Like vte_terminal_check_regex_simple_at(), but returns an array of strings, containing the matching text (or `NULL` if no match) corresponding to each of the regexes in `regexes`.

Available since: 0.70

###### vte_terminal_check_regex_simple_at

Checks each regex in `regexes` if the text in and around the position (x, y) matches the regular expressions. If a match exists, the matched text is stored in `matches` at the position of the regex in `regexes`; otherwise `NULL` is stored there. Each non-`NULL` element of `matches` should be freed with g_free().
