DESCRIPTION
       cups-config is the CUPS program configuration utility.  It
       should  be used by application developers to determine the
       necessary  command-line  options  for  the  compiler   and
       linker,  as  well  as determining installation directories
       for filters, configuration files, and drivers.

       The --api-version command displays the current API version
       (major.minor).

       The  --cflags  command  displays  the  necessary  compiler
       options.

       The --datadir  command  displays  the  default  CUPS  data
       directory.

       The --help command displays the program usage message.

       The   --ldflags  command  displays  the  necessary  linker
       options.

       The --libs command displays the necessary librarys to link
       to.   The  --image option adds the CUPS imaging library to
       the list.  The --static option shows the static  libraries
       instead of the default (shared) libraries.

       The  --serverbin  command displays the default CUPS binary
       directory, where filters and backends are stored.

       The --serverroot command displays the default CUPS config-
       uration file directory.

       The  --version command displays the full version number of
       the CUPS installation (major.minor.patch).
