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).
