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.
