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 configuration file directory.

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