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. AUTHOR This manual page was written by Mark Baker <mark@mnb.org.uk>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
