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).
