USAGE
Here are some real life usages. Checks for xft support: if fvwm-config --supports-xft; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi fvwm-themes package checks for the correct fvwm version installed using: fvwm-config --version and tries to use the same installation directories: fvwm-config --bindir --mandir --fvwm-datadir A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable: echo `fvwm-config --bindir`/`fvwm-config --fvwm-exe` A way to start modules in perl: use lib `fvwm-config -p | tr -d '0`; use FVWM::Module; For a more human readable output, try: fvwm-config --info
