Some of the 20 options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries, re- 21 spectively, and are not available for libraries that have not been 22 built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information 23 is output. 24 25 26OPTIONS 27 28 --prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation 29 for architecture independent files (/usr on many systems, 30 /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output. 31 32 --exec-prefix 33 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation 34 for architecture dependent files (normally the same as --pre- 35 fix) to the standard output. 36 37 --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to 38 the standard output. 39 40 --libs8 Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 41 quired to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on 42 many systems). 43 44 --libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 45 quired to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16 on 46 many systems). 47 48 --libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 49 quired to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32 on 50 many systems). 51 52 --libs-posix 53 Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 54 quired to link with PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library 55 (-lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8 on many systems). 56 57 --cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 58 quired to compile files that use PCRE2 (this may include some 59 -I options, but is blank on many systems). 60 61 --cflags-posix 62 Writes to the standard output the command line options re- 63 quired to compile files that use PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper 64 library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on 65 many systems). 66 67 68SEE ALSO 69 70 pcre2(3) 71 72 73AUTHOR 74 75 This manual page was originally written by Mark Baker for the Debian 76 GNU/Linux system.
