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
       --cflags
              What  set  of CFLAGS that was used when libcurl was
              built. This is mostly a debug option that serves no
              particular use to most people.

       --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 appli-
              cation 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.

EXAMPLES
       What is the path to the curl header files?

         echo `curl-config --prefix`/include

       What is the path to libcurl?

         echo `curl-config --prefix`/lib

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

         curl-config --libs

       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
