PCRE2-CONFIG(1)        DragonFly General Commands Manual       PCRE2-CONFIG(1)


NAME

       pcre2-config - program to return PCRE2 configuration


SYNOPSIS

       pcre2-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version]
                    [--libs8] [--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-posix]
                    [--cflags] [--cflags-posix]


DESCRIPTION

       pcre2-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE2 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 for libraries that have not been
       built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information
       is output.


OPTIONS

       --prefix  Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 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 PCRE2 installation
                 for architecture dependent files (normally the same as
                 --prefix) to the standard output.

       --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to
                 the standard output.

       --libs8   Writes to the standard output the command line options
                 required to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on
                 many systems).

       --libs16  Writes to the standard output the command line options
                 required to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16 on
                 many systems).

       --libs32  Writes to the standard output the command line options
                 required to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32 on
                 many systems).

       --libs-posix
                 Writes to the standard output the command line options
                 required to link with PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library
                 (-lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8 on many systems).

       --cflags  Writes to the standard output the command line options
                 required to compile files that use PCRE2 (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 PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper
                 library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on
                 many systems).
