SYNOPSIS
curl-config [options]

DESCRIPTION
curl-config displays information about a previous curl and libcurl installation.

OPTIONS

--cflags
    What set of CFLAGS that was used when libcurl was built. This is mostly a debug option that serves no particular use to most people.

--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.

EXAMPLES
