+.TH curl-config 1 "25 Oct 2007" "Curl 7.17.1" "curl-config manual"
+.SH NAME
+curl-config \- Get information about a libcurl installation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B curl-config [options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B curl-config
+displays information about the curl and libcurl installation.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "--ca"
+Displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle this libcurl uses.
+.IP "--cc"
+Displays the compiler used to build libcurl.
+.IP "--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.
+.IP "--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)
+.IP "--configure"
+Displays the arguments given to configure when building curl.
+.IP "--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.
+.IP "--help"
+Displays the available options.
+.IP "--libs"
+Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order
+to link your application with libcurl.
+.IP "--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".
+.IP "--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)
+.IP "--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)
+.IP "--version"
+Outputs version information about the installed libcurl.
+.IP "--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.)
+.SH "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` -o example example.c `curl-config --libs`
