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 hexadeci-
    mal, 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
