Return the flags that were supplied to the most recent successful call to the `prepare` method of this regular‐expression object. The behavior is undefined unless `isPrepared() == true`. Note that the returned value will be the bit‐wise inclusive‐or of 0 or more of the following values: ` k_FLAG_CASELESS k_FLAG_DOTMATCHESALL k_FLAG_MULTILINE k_FLAG_UTF8 k_FLAG_JIT k_FLAG_DUPNAMES ` Also note that `k_FLAG_JIT` is ignored, but still returned by this method, if `isJitAvailable()` is `false`.
