PCRE2-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual 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, re-
spectively, 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 --pre-
fix) 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 re-
quired to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on
many systems).

--libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16 on
many systems).

--libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32 on
many systems).

--libs-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired 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 re-
quired 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 re-
quired to compile files that use PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper
library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on
many systems).
