| .SH NAME |
| curl-config \- Get information about a libcurl installation |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B curl-config [options] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B curl-config |
| displays information about a previous curl and libcurl installation. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .IP "--cc" |
| Displays the compiler used to build libcurl. |
| .IP "--cflags" |
| Set of compiler options (CFLAGS) to use when compiling files that use |
| libcurl. Currently that is only thw include path to the curl include files. |
| .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 |
| in $prefix/lib and its header files are installed in $prefix/include and so |
| on. The prefix is set with "configure --prefix". |
| .IP "--version" |
| Outputs version information about the installed libcurl. |
| .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... |
