PCRE2-CONFIG(1) User Commands PCRE2-CONFIG(1)

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).
