pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration |
pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs] |
[--libs-posix] [--cflags] [--cflags-posix] |
pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries and the options required to compile a program to use them. |
--prefix |
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE 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 PCRE installation for architecture dependent files (normally the same as --prefix) to the standard output. |
--version |
Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to the standard output. |
|
--libs |
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with PCRE (-lpcre on many systems). |
--libs-posix |
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with the PCRE posix emulation library (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems). |
--cflags |
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile files that use PCRE (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 the PCRE posix emulation library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on many systems). |
