Some of the 19 options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries, 20 respectively, and are not available for libraries that have not been 21 built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" information 22 is output. 23 24 25 OPTIONS 26 27 --prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation 28 for architecture independent files (/usr on many systems, 29 /usr/local on some systems) to the standard output. 30 31 --exec-prefix 32 Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation 33 for architecture dependent files (normally the same as --pre- 34 fix) to the standard output. 35 36 --version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to 37 the standard output. 38 39 --libs8 Writes to the standard output the command line options 40 required to link with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-8 on 41 many systems). 42 43 --libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options 44 required to link with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-16 on 45 many systems). 46 47 --libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options 48 required to link with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (-lpcre2-32 on 49 many systems). 50 51 --libs-posix 52 Writes to the standard output the command line options 53 required to link with PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library 54 (-lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8 on many systems). 55 56 --cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options 57 required to compile files that use PCRE2 (this may include 58 some -I options, but is blank on many systems). 59 60 --cflags-posix 61 Writes to the standard output the command line options 62 required to compile files that use PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper 63 library (this may include some -I options, but is blank on 64 many systems). 65 66 67 SEE ALSO 68 69 pcre2(3) 70 71 72 AUTHOR 73 74 This manual page was originally written by Mark Baker for the Debian 75 GNU/Linux system. It has been subsequently revised as a generic PCRE2 76 man page. 77 78 79 REVISION 80 81 Last updated: 28 September 2014 82
