Open options for cloud computing

08-19-2008 01:00 PM
Some cloud computing vendors, such as 3tera and Nirvani, push their own proprietary platforms and tools, which forces adopters to limit their options and work in a restricted or closed architecture. When these established vendors say cloud, they mean their cloud. As a result, Web developers may believe that, in order to use cloud computing, they must accept limitations in the way they write and build their applications. But that view is a misconception; open standards for cloud computing are already in place and are beingtweaked.

libgnutls-config

libgnutls-config(1)						   User Commands					       libgnutls-config(1)

NAME

       libgnutls-config - helper script for building with libgnutls

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  libgnutls-config tool is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the
       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.

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

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       >0	Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:
