curl-config - Get information about a libcurl installation


SYNOPSIS

       curl-config [options]


DESCRIPTION

       curl-config displays information about a previous curl and
       libcurl installation.


OPTIONS

       --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.

       --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.

       --help Displays the available options.

       --libs Shows the complete set of  libs  and  other  linker
              options  you will need in order to link your appli­
              cation with libcurl.

       --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".

       --version
              Outputs version  information  about  the  installed
              libcurl.

       --vernum
              Outputs  version  information  about  the installed
              libcurl, in numerical mode.  This outputs the  ver­
              sion  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...


EXAMPLES

       What is the path to the curl header files?

         echo `curl-config --prefix`/include

       What is the path to libcurl?


       What other linker options do  I  need  when  I  link  with
       libcurl?

         curl-config --libs

       How do I know if libcurl was built with SSL support?

         curl-config --feature | grep SSL

       What's the installed libcurl version?

         curl-config --version
