		 Writes to the	standard  output  the  command	line  options
		 required  to  link  with  the	PCRE  posix emulation library
		 (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).

       --cflags	 Writes to the	standard  output  the  command	line  options
		 required  to  compile	files that use PCRE (this may include
