pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs] [--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. 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 PCRE (-lpcre on many systems). --libs-posix Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with the PCRE posix emulation 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 the PCRE posix emulation library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
