Class: utf8
Description
Returns an iterator function that, each time it is called, returns the next captures from pattern over the string s.
(function) = utf8.gmatch(s,pattern)
If pattern specifies no captures, then the whole match is produced in each call.
For this function, a caret '^' at the start of a pattern does not work as an anchor, as this would prevent the iteration.
Parameters
s: (string)
pattern: (string)
Return values
Returns (function) iterator function
