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...
