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

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. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Getting the libgnutls library version example% libgnutls-config --version Example 2: Determining the libraries required to link with the libgnutls library example% libgnutls-config --libs EXIT STATUS
