    14 DESCRIPTION

    15 

    16        pcre-config  returns  the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries

    17        and the options required to compile a program to use them.

    18 

    19 

    20 OPTIONS

    21 

    22        --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for

    23                  architecture   independent   files  (/usr  on  many  systems,

    24                  /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.

    25 

    26        --exec-prefix

    27                  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for

    28                  architecture  dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)

    29                  to the standard output.

    30 

    31        --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries  to

    32                  the standard output.

    33 

    34        --libs    Writes  to  the  standard  output  the  command  line options

    35                  required to link with PCRE (-lpcre on many systems).

    36 

    37        --libs-posix

    38                  Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options

    39                  required  to  link  with  the  PCRE  posix  emulation library

    40                  (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).

    41 

    42        --cflags  Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options

    43                  required  to  compile  files  that use PCRE (this may include

    44                  some -I options, but is blank on many systems).

    45 

    46        --cflags-posix

    47                  Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options

    48                  required  to  compile files that use the PCRE posix emulation

    49                  library (this may include some -I options, but  is  blank  on

    50                  many systems).
