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.)

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

       $ curl-config --libs

     What compiler options do I need when I compile using libcurl
     functions?

       $ curl-config --cflags

     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

     How do I build a single file with a one-line command?

       $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
