16 pcre2-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE2 libraries
17 and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of the
18 options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries,
19 respectively, and are not available for libraries that have not been
20 built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information
21 is output.

25 --prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation
26 for architecture independent files (/usr on many systems,
27 /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.
28
29 --exec-prefix
30 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation
31 for architecture dependent files (normally the same as --pre‐

33
34 --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to
35 the standard output.
36
37 --libs8 Writes to the standard output the command line options
38 required to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on
39 many systems).
40
41 --libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options
42 required to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16 on
43 many systems).
44
45 --libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options
46 required to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32 on
47 many systems).
48
49 --libs-posix
50 Writes to the standard output the command line options
51 required to link with PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library
52 (-lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8 on many systems).
53
54 --cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options
55 required to compile files that use PCRE2 (this may include
56 some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
57
58 --cflags-posix
59 Writes to the standard output the command line options
60 required to compile files that use PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper
61 library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on
62 many systems).
