15       pcre-config  returns  the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries
16       and the options required to compile a program to use them.
17

OPTIONS

19
20       --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
21                 architecture   independent   files  (/usr  on  many  systems,
22                 /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.
23
24       --exec-prefix
25                 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
26                 architecture  dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)
27                 to the standard output.
28
29       --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries  to
30                 the standard output.
31
32       --libs    Writes  to  the  standard  output  the  command  line options
33                 required to link with PCRE (-lpcre on many systems).
34
35       --libs-posix
36                 Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
37                 required  to  link  with  the  PCRE  posix  emulation library
38                 (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).
39
40       --cflags  Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
41                 required  to  compile  files  that use PCRE (this may include
42                 some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
43
44       --cflags-posix
45                 Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
46                 required  to  compile files that use the PCRE posix emulation
47                 library (this may include some -I options, but  is  blank  on
48                 many systems).
