LIBUPSCLIENT-CONFIG(1)

NAME

libupsclient-config - Script to get information about the installed version of libupsclient

SYNOPSIS

libupsclient-config [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

DESCRIPTION

libupsclient-config is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the libupsclient from the Network UPS Tools project (also known as the "upscli" API).

It allows to simplify build automation for systems without a pkg-config implementation which would instead use the libupsclient.pc file installed with the NUT development files.

Note that to rebuild current NUT with same settings as the installed NUT v2.8.1 or newer, you can use lib/libupsclient-config --config-flags, where supported. Note that the pkg-config manifest libupsclient.pc does not easily convey this information.

OPTIONS

libupsclient-config accepts the following options:

--version: Print the currently installed version of libupsclient on the standard output.
--libs: Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a libupsclient program.
--cflags: Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a libupsclient program.
--config-flags: Print the flags passed to configure script when this installation of NUT was originally built (supported since release v2.8.1).
