-SUMMARY="Perl5 Compatible Regular Expressions"
-DESCRIPTION="
-The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression \
-pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its \
-own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond to the \
-POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE library is free, even for building \
-proprietary software.
-This package contains the native API.
