PCRE2-CONFIG(1)		    General Commands Manual	       PCRE2-CONFIG(1)

NAME
       pcre2-config - program to return	PCRE2 configuration

SYNOPSIS

       pcre2-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version]
		    [--libs8] [--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-posix]
		    [--cflags] [--cflags-posix]

DESCRIPTION

       pcre2-config returns the	configuration of the installed PCRE2 libraries
       and  the	options	required to compile a program to use them. Some	of the
       options apply only to the 8-bit,	16-bit,	or 32-bit  libraries,  respec-
       tively,	and  are not available for libraries that have not been	built.
       If an unavailable option	is encountered,	 the  "usage"  information  is
       output.

OPTIONS

       --prefix	 Writes	 the  directory	 prefix	used in	the PCRE2 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 PCRE2 installation
		 for architecture-dependent files (normally the	same as	--pre-
		 fix) to the standard output.

       --version Writes	the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to
		 the standard output.

       --libs8	 Writes	to the standard	output the command  line  options  re-
		 quired	 to  link  with	 the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on
		 many systems).

       --libs16	 Writes	to the standard	output the command  line  options  re-
		 quired	 to  link with the 16-bit PCRE2	library	(-lpcre2-16 on
		 many systems).

       --libs32	 Writes	to the standard	output the command  line  options  re-
		 quired	 to  link with the 32-bit PCRE2	library	(-lpcre2-32 on
		 many systems).

       --libs-posix
		 Writes	to the standard	output the command  line  options  re-
		 quired	 to  link  with	 PCRE2's  POSIX	 API  wrapper  library
		 (-lpcre2-posix	-lpcre2-8 on many systems).

       --cflags	 Writes	to the standard	output the command  line  options  re-
		 quired	to compile files that use PCRE2	(this may include some
		 -I options, but is blank on many systems).

       --cflags-posix
		 Writes	 to  the  standard output the command line options re-
		 quired	to compile files that use PCRE2's  POSIX  API  wrapper
		 library  (this	 may  include some -I options, but is blank on
		 many systems).
