 NAME
pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration

 SYNOPSIS
.rs
 pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs]  [--libs16] [--libs-cpp] [--libs-posix] [--cflags]  [--cflags-posix] .
.

 DESCRIPTION
.rs
pcre-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 8-bit or 16-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
.rs

 10
--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.

 10
--exec-prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for architecture
dependent files (normally the same as --prefix) to the standard output.

 10
--version
Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to the standard
output.

 10
--libs
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 8-bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many systems).

 10
--libs16
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 16-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on many systems).

 10
--libs-cpp
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with
PCRE's C++ wrapper library (-lpcrecpp -lpcre on many
systems).

 10
--libs-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).

 10
--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).

 10
--cflags-posix
