NAME
pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration
SYNOPSIS
pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs]
[--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-cpp] [--libs-posix]
[--cflags] [--cflags-posix]
DESCRIPTION
pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries
and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of the
options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries,
respectively, and are not available if only one of those libraries has
been built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" infor-
mation is output.
OPTIONS
--prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture independent files (/usr on many systems,
/usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.
--exec-prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)
to the standard output.
--version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to
the standard output.
--libs Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 8-bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many
systems).
--libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 16-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on
many systems).
--libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 32-bit PCRE library (-lpcre32 on
many systems).
--libs-cpp
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with PCRE's C++ wrapper library (-lpcrecpp
-lpcre on many systems).
--libs-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library
(-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).
--cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to compile files that use PCRE (this may include
some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
--cflags-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to compile files that use PCRE's POSIX API wrapper
library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on
many systems).
