pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE
libraries: the options required to compile a program to use them.
OPTIONS
--prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture independent files (/usr on debian systems, /usr/local on
many other systems) to standard output.
--exec-prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)
to standard output.
--version
Writes the version of PCRE installed to standard output.
--libs
Writes to standard output the command line options required to link
with PCRE (-lpcre on debian systems).
--libs-posix
Writes to standard output the command line options required to link
with the PCRE posix emulation library (-lpcreposix -lpcre on debian
systems).
--cflags
Writes to standard output the command line options required to compile
files that use PCRE (this often includes some -I options, but is blank
on debian systems).
--cflags-posix
Writes to standard output the command line options required to compile
files that use the PCRE posix emulation library (this often includes
some -I options, but is blank on debian systems). Suppress printing of
filenames when searching multiple files.
