NAME         top

       pcre2-config - program to return PCRE2 configuration

SYNOPSIS         top


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

DESCRIPTION         top


       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         top


       --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).
