       (deprecated).

       cups-config --api-version
       cups-config --build
       cups-config --cflags
       cups-config --datadir
       cups-config --help

DESCRIPTION
       The cups-config command allows application developers to	determine  the
       necessary  command-line options for the compiler	and linker, as well as
       the installation	directories for	filters, configuration files, and dri-
       vers.  All values are reported to the standard output.  Note: This com-
       mand is deprecated 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 back-
	    ends are stored.

       --serverroot
	    Reports the	default	CUPS configuration file	directory.

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

       --version
	    Reports  the  full	version	 number	 of the	CUPS installation (ma-
	    jor.minor.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.
