|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B curl-config
|
|
|
|
displays information about a previous curl and libcurl installation.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
.IP "--cflags"
|
|
|
|
What set of CFLAGS that was used when libcurl was built. This is mostly a
|
|
|
|
debug option that serves no particular use to most people.
|
|
|
|
.IP "--feature"
|
|
|
|
Lists what particular main features the installed libcurl was built with. At
|
|
|
|
the time of writing, this list may include SSL, KRB4 or IPv6. Do not assume
|
|
|
|
any particular order. The keywords will be separated by newlines. There may be
|
|
|
|
none, one or several keywords in the list.
|
|
|
|
.IP "--help"
|
|
|
|
Displays the available options.
|
|
|
|
.IP "--libs"
|
|
|
|
Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order
|
|
|
|
to link your application with libcurl.
|
|
|
|
.IP "--prefix"
|
|
|
|
This is the prefix used when libcurl was installed. Libcurl is then installed
|
2001-04-19 13:19:54 +02:00
|
|
|
in $prefix/lib and its header files are installed in $prefix/include and so
|
2001-04-18 15:16:34 +02:00
|
|
|
on. The prefix is set with "configure --prefix".
|
|
|
|
.IP "--version"
|
|
|
|
Outputs version information about the installed libcurl.
|
2001-05-28 16:58:07 +02:00
|
|
|
.IP "--vernum"
|
|
|
|
Outputs version information about the installed libcurl, in numerical mode.
|
|
|
|
This outputs the version number, in hexadecimal, with 8 bits for each part;
|
|
|
|
major, minor, patch. So that libcurl 7.7.4 would appear as 070704 and libcurl
|
|
|
|
12.13.14 would appear as 0c0d0e...
