PCRE-CONFIG(1)                                                  PCRE-CONFIG(1)


NAME
       pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration

SYNOPSIS

       pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs]
            [--libs16] [--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 libraries, respectively, and
       are not available if only one of those libraries has been built. If  an
       unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information 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).

       --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).
