341    The output is an integer whose value indicates what character sequences the \R
342    escape sequence matches by default. A value of 0 means that \R matches any
343    Unicode line ending sequence; a value of 1 means that \R matches only CR, LF,

486    match any Unicode newline sequence. The default is specified when PCRE is
487    built. It can be overridden from within the pattern, or by setting an option
