PCRE2-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual PCRE2-CONFIG(1)
NAME
pcre2-config - program to return PCRE2 configuration
SYNOPSIS
pcre2-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version]
[--libs8] [--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-posix]
[--cflags] [--cflags-posix]
DESCRIPTION
pcre2-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE2
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 for
libraries that have not been built. If an unavailable option is
encountered, the "usage" information is output.
OPTIONS
--prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 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 PCRE2 installation
for architecture dependent files (normally the same as
--prefix) to the standard output.
--version
Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries
to the standard output.
--libs8
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8
on many systems).
--libs16
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16
on many systems).
--libs32
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32
on many systems).
--libs-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to link with PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library
(-lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8 on many systems).
--cflags
Writes to the standard output the command line options
required to compile files that use PCRE2 (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 PCRE2's POSIX API
wrapper library (this may include some -I options, but is
blank on many systems).
