NAME
curl-config - Get information about a libcurl installation
SYNOPSIS
curl-config [options]
DESCRIPTION
curl-config displays information about the curl and libcurl
installation.
OPTIONS
--ca Displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle this
libcurl uses.
--cc Displays the compiler used to build libcurl.
--cflags
Set of compiler options (CFLAGS) to use when compiling
files that use libcurl. Currently that is only the
include path to the curl include files.
--checkfor [version]
Specify the oldest possible libcurl version string you
want, and this script will return 0 if the current
installation is new enough or it returns 1 and outputs
a text saying that the current version is not new
enough. (Added in 7.15.4)
--configure
Displays the arguments given to configure when building
curl.
--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 application 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".
--protocols
Lists what particular protocols the installed libcurl
was built to support. At the time of writing, this list
may include HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, FILE, TELNET, LDAP,
DICT. Do not assume any particular order. The protocols
will be listed using uppercase and are separated by
newlines. There may be none, one, or several protocols
in the list. (Added in 7.13.0)
--static-libs
Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options
you will need in order to link your application with
libcurl statically. (Added in 7.17.1)
--version
Outputs version information about the installed
libcurl.
--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... Note that the initial zero might be omitted.
(This option was broken in the 7.15.0 release.)
