NAME

pcr-config- program to return PCRE configuration

SYNOPSIS

pcr-config  -prefix] -exe-prefix] -version] -libs]
            -libs16] -libs32] -lib-cpp] -lib-posix]
            -cflags] -cflag-posix]

DESCRIPTION

pcr-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of the options apply only to the -bit, or 1-bit, or 3-bit libraries, respectively, and are not available if only one of those libraries has been built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information is output.

OPTIONS

-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.
-exe-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 the -bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many systems).
-libs16: Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with the 1-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on many systems).
-libs32: Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with the 3-bit PCRE library (-lpcre32 on many systems).
-lib-cpp: Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with PCRE's C++ wrapper library (-lpcrecpp -lpcre on many systems).
-lib-posix: Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with PCRE's POSIX API wrapper 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).
-cflag-posix: Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile files that use PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
