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