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" informa-
     tion is output.

OPTIONS

     --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE  ins-
               tallation 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  ins-
               tallation  for  architecture dependent files (nor-
               mally the same as --prefix) to the  standard  out-
               put.

     --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  sys-
               tems).

     --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).
