.SH DESCRIPTION
.rs
.sp
\fBpcre2-config\fP 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.

.SH OPTIONS
.rs
.TP 10
\fB--prefix\fP
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation for architecture

systems) to the standard output.
.TP 10
\fB--exec-prefix\fP
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE2 installation for architecture
dependent files (normally the same as \fB--prefix\fP) to the standard output.
.TP 10

Writes the version number of the installed PCRE2 libraries to the standard
output.
.TP 10
\fB--libs8\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 8-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-8\fP on many systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs16\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 16-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-16\fP on many systems).
.TP 10

Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 32-bit PCRE2 library (\fB-lpcre2-32\fP on many systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs-posix\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with
PCRE2's POSIX API wrapper library (\fB-lpcre2-posix\fP \fB-lpcre2-8\fP on many
systems).
.TP 10
\fB--cflags\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile
files that use PCRE2 (this may include some \fB-I\fP options, but is blank on
many systems).
.TP 10
