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" information is output.

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 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).
