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
       drivers.  All values are reported to the standard output.

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
            (major.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
            libraries.
