NAME
     cups-config - get cups api, compiler, directory, and link information (dep-
     recated).

SYNOPSIS
     cups-config --api-version
     cups-config --build
     cups-config --cflags
     cups-config --datadir
     cups-config --help
     cups-config --ldflags
     cups-config [ --image ] [ --static ] --libs
     cups-config --serverbin
     cups-config --serverroot
     cups-config --version

DESCRIPTION
     The cups-config command allows application developers to determine the nec-
     essary command-line options for the compiler and linker, as well as the in-
     stallation  directories for filters, configuration files, and drivers.  All
     values are reported to the standard output.  Note: This command  is  depre-
     cated  and  will be removed in a future version of CUPS.  The pkg-config(1)
     command should be used instead.

OPTIONS
     The cups-config command accepts the following command-line options:

     --api-version
	  Reports the current API version (major.minor).

     --build
	  Reports a system-specific build number.

     --cflags
	  Reports the necessary compiler options.

     --datadir
	  Reports the default CUPS data directory.

     --help
	  Reports the program usage message.

     --ldflags
	  Reports the necessary linker options.

     --libs
	  Reports the necessary libraries to link to.

     --serverbin
	  Reports the default CUPS binary directory, where filters and	backends
	  are stored.

     --serverroot
	  Reports the default CUPS configuration file directory.

     --static
	  When used with --libs, reports the static libraries instead of the de-
	  fault (shared) libraries.

     --version
	  Reports  the	full  version number of the CUPS installation (major.mi-
	  nor.patch).

EXAMPLES
     Show the currently installed version of CUPS:

	 cups-config --version

     Compile a simple one-file CUPS filter:

	 cc `cups-config --cflags --ldflags` -o filter filter.c \
	     `cups-config --libs`

DEPRECATED OPTIONS
     The following options are deprecated but continue	to  work  for  backwards
     compatibility:

     --image
	  Formerly  used  to  add  the	CUPS  imaging library to the list of li-
	  braries.
