pcre-config (1) Linux Manual Page
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.
