--libs Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with PCRE (-lpcre on many systems).
--libs-posix 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 some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
