NAME
       pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration

SYNOPSIS
       pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs] [--libs-posix] [--cflags] [--cflags-posix]

DESCRIPTION
       pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries: 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 (e.g. /usr) to standard output.

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

       --version Writes the version of PCRE installed to standard output.

       --libs	 Writes to standard output the command line options required to link with PCRE (e.g. -lpcre).

       --libs-posix
		 Writes to standard output the command line options required to link with the  PCRE  POSIX  emulation  library	(e.g.  -lpcreposix
		 -lpcre).

       --cflags  Writes  to standard output the command line options required to compile files that use PCRE (this often includes some -I options,
		 but is blank on debian systems).

       --cflags-posix
		 Writes to standard output the command line options required to compile files that use the  PCRE  POSIX  emulation  library  (this
		 often includes some -I options, but is blank on debian systems). Suppress printing of filenames when searching multiple files.
