pcre-config [−−prefix] [−−exec−prefix]
        [−−version]

pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries and the options required to compile a program to use them.
−−prefixWrites 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-prefixWrites the directory prefix used in the PCRE
            installation for architecture dependent files (normally
            the same as −−prefix) to
            the standard output.
−−versionWrites the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to the standard output.
−−libsWrites to the standard output the command line
            options required to link with PCRE (−lpcre on many systems).
−−libs-posixWrites to the standard output the command line
            options required to link with the PCRE posix emulation
            library (−lpcreposix
            −lpcre on many
            systems).
−−cflagsWrites 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-posixWrites 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).
This manual page was originally written by Mark Baker for the Debian GNU/Linux system. It has been slightly revised as a generic PCRE man page.
