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
       --cc   Displays the compiler used to build libcurl.

       --cflags
	      Set  of  compiler options (CFLAGS) to use when compiling files that use libcurl. Currently that is only thw include path to the curl
	      include files.

       --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 application 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.

       --vernum
	      Outputs version information about the installed libcurl, in numerical mode.  This outputs the version number, in hexadecimal, with 8
	      bits for each part; major, minor, patch. So that libcurl 7.7.4 would appear as 070704 and libcurl 12.13.14 would appear as 0c0d0e...

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

	 $ curl-config --libs

       What compiler options do I need when I compile using libcurl functions?

	 $ curl-config --cflags

       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

       How do I build a single file with a one-line command?

	 $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
