NAME

     curl-config - Get information about a libcurl installation


SYNOPSIS

     curl-config [options]


DESCRIPTION

     curl-config  displays  information about a previous 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  thw
          include path to the curl include files.

     --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".

     --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...


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
