227    The \fB/8\fP modifier causes \fBpcretest\fP to call PCRE with the PCRE_UTF8
228    option set. This turns on support for UTF-8 character handling in PCRE,
229    provided that it was compiled with this support enabled. This modifier also
230    causes any non-printing characters in output strings to be printed using the
231    \ex{hh...} notation if they are valid UTF-8 sequences.
232    .P
233    If the \fB/?\fP modifier is used with \fB/8\fP, it causes \fBpcretest\fP to
234    call \fBpcre_compile()\fP with the PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK option, to suppress the
235    checking of the string for UTF-8 validity.

 The \fB/L\fP modifier must be followed directly by the name of a locale, for

 For this reason, it must be the last modifier. The given locale is set,  
 \fBpcre_maketables()\fP is called to build a set of character tables for the  
 locale, and this is then passed to \fBpcre_compile()\fP when compiling the  
 regular expression. Without an \fB/L\fP modifier, NULL is passed as the tables  
 pointer; that is, \fB/L\fP applies only to the expression on which it appears.  
 .P  
 The \fB/I\fP modifier requests that \fBpcretest\fP output information about the  
 compiled pattern (whether it is anchored, has a fixed first character, and  
 so on). It does this by calling \fBpcre_fullinfo()\fP after compiling a  
 pattern. If the pattern is studied, the results of that are also output.

264    .P
265    The \fB/K\fP modifier requests \fBpcretest\fP to show names from backtracking
266    control verbs that are returned from calls to \fBpcre_exec()\fP. It causes
267    \fBpcretest\fP to create a \fBpcre_extra\fP block if one has not already been
268    created by a call to \fBpcre_study()\fP, and to set the PCRE_EXTRA_MARK flag
269    and the \fBmark\fP field within it, every time that \fBpcre_exec()\fP is
270    called. If the variable that the \fBmark\fP field points to is non-NULL for a
271    match, non-match, or partial match, \fBpcretest\fP prints the string to which
272    it points. For a match, this is shown on a line by itself, tagged with "MK:".
273    For a non-match it is added to the message.
