| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .rs |
| .sp |
| \fBpcre-config\fP 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. |

| .SH OPTIONS |
| .rs |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--prefix\fP |
| Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for architecture |
| independent files (\fI/usr\fP on many systems, \fI/usr/local\fP on some |
| systems) to the standard output. |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--exec-prefix\fP |
| Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for architecture |
| dependent files (normally the same as \fB--prefix\fP) to the standard output. |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--version\fP |
| Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to the standard |
| output. |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--libs\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link |
| with the 8-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre\fP on many systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--libs16\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link |
| with the 16-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre16\fP on many systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--libs32\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link |
| with the 32-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre32\fP on many systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--libs-cpp\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with |
| PCRE's C++ wrapper library (\fB-lpcrecpp\fP \fB-lpcre\fP on many |
| systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--libs-posix\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with |
| PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library (\fB-lpcreposix\fP \fB-lpcre\fP on many |
| systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--cflags\fP |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile |
| files that use PCRE (this may include some \fB-I\fP options, but is blank on |
| many systems). |
| .TP 10 |
| \fB--cflags-posix\fP |
| 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 \fB-I\fP |
| options, but is blank on many systems). |
