17 \fBpcre2-config\fP returns the configuration of the installed PCRE2 libraries
18 and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of the options
19 apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries, respectively, and are
20 not available for libraries that have not been built. If an unavailable option
21 is encountered, the "usage" information is output.
28 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation for architecture
29 independent files (\fI/usr\fP on many systems, \fI/usr/local\fP on some
30 systems) to the standard output.
33 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation for architecture
34 dependent files (normally the same as \fB--prefix\fP) to the standard output.
37 Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to the standard
41 Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
42 with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-8\fP on many systems).
45 Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
46 with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-16\fP on many systems).
49 Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
50 with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-32\fP on many systems).
53 Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with

63 Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile
64 files that use PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library (this may include some
