NAME

       orbit2-config - helper script for building with orbit2

SYNOPSIS

       orbit2-config [--help ] [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir] [--use-service=service] [client | server]

DESCRIPTION

       The  orbit2-config  tool  is  used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the
       orbit2 library.	It is also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with orbit. In most cases,  you  will  use
       one (or both) of the options --cflags or --libs, depending on whether you are compiling or linking.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --cflags 		       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.

       --libs			       Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.

       --exec-prefix=dir	       If specified, use dir instead of the installation exec prefix that the library was built with, when comput-
				       ing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be	specified  before  any	--libs	or
				       --cflags options.

       --help			       Print a usage summary.

       --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 speci-
				       fied.

       --use-service=service	       If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for using the specified service. Known values  for  service
				       are: module CosNaming, interfaces LNameComponent, LName.

       --version		       Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       client			       Used when compiling an orbit2 client.

       server			       Used when compiling an orbit2 server.
