20OPTIONS
21
22       --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
23                 architecture   independent   files  (/usr  on  many  systems,
24                 /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.
25
26       --exec-prefix
27                 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
28                 architecture  dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)
29                 to the standard output.
30
31       --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries  to
32                 the standard output.
33
34       --libs    Writes  to  the  standard  output  the  command  line options
35                 required to link with PCRE (-lpcre on many systems).
36
37       --libs-posix
38                 Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
39                 required  to  link  with  the  PCRE  posix  emulation library
40                 (-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).
41
42       --cflags  Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
43                 required  to  compile  files  that use PCRE (this may include
44                 some -I options, but is blank on many systems).
45
46       --cflags-posix
47                 Writes to  the  standard  output  the  command  line  options
48                 required  to  compile files that use the PCRE posix emulation
49                 library (this may include some -I options, but  is  blank  on
50                 many systems).
