SYNOPSIS
libgnutls-config [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir]

libgnutls library.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.
--exec-prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the exec installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the
output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.
--prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output
for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. This
option is also used for the exec prefix if the --exec-prefix option is not specified.
--version Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output.
