| NAME |
| pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| |
| pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs] |
| [--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-cpp] [--libs-posix] |
| [--cflags] [--cflags-posix] |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| |
| pcre-config 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" infor- |
| mation is output. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| |
| --prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE 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 PCRE installation for |
| architecture dependent files (normally the same as --prefix) |
| to the standard output. |
| |
| --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to |
| the standard output. |
| |
| --libs Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to link with the 8-bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many |
| systems). |
| |
| --libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to link with the 16-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on |
| many systems). |
| |
| --libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to link with the 32-bit PCRE library (-lpcre32 on |
| many systems). |
| |
| --libs-cpp |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to link with PCRE's C++ wrapper library (-lpcrecpp |
| -lpcre on many systems). |
| |
| --libs-posix |
| Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to link with PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library |
| (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems). |
| |
| --cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options |
| required to compile files that use PCRE (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 PCRE's POSIX API wrapper |
| library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on |
| many systems). |
