Description : Perl-compatible regular expression library.
: PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that
: are based on the POSIX API are also supplied in the library
: libpcreposix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling

: Perl syntax and semantics. The header file for the POSIX-style
: functions is called pcreposix.h.
