+NAME
+ pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+ pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs]
+ [--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-cpp] [--libs-posix]
+ [--cflags] [--cflags-posix]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+ 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, or 32-bit libraries,
+ respectively, and are not available if only one of those libraries has
+ been built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" infor-
+ mation 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.
+
+ --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 the 8-bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many
+ systems).
+
+ --libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options
+ required to link with the 16-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on
+ many systems).
+
+ --libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options
+ required to link with the 32-bit PCRE library (-lpcre32 on
+ many systems).
+
+ --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).
+
+ --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).
+
+ --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 PCRE's POSIX API wrapper
+ library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on
+ many systems).
