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

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  un-
     available option is encountered, the "usage" information is output.

OPTIONS
     --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for ar-
	       chitecture 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 ar-
	       chitecture 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).
