DESCRIPTION
       The  cups-config command allows application developers to determine the

       the  installation  directories  for  filters,  configuration files, and
       drivers.	 All values are reported to the standard output.

OPTIONS
       The cups-config command accepts the following command-line options:

       --api-version
	    Reports the current API version (major.minor).

       --build
	    Reports a system-specific build number.

       --cflags
	    Reports the necessary compiler options.

       --datadir
	    Reports the default CUPS data directory.

       --help
	    Reports the program usage message.

       --image
	    When used with --libs, adds the CUPS imaging library to  the  list
	    of libraries.

       --ldflags
	    Reports the necessary linker options.

       --libs
	    Reports the necessary libraries to link to.

       --serverbin
	    Reports the default CUPS binary directory, where filters and back‐
	    ends are stored.

       --serverroot
	    Reports the default CUPS configuration file directory.

       --static
	    When used with --libs, reports the static libraries instead of the
	    default (shared) libraries.

       --version
	    Reports   the   full  version  number  of  the  CUPS  installation
	    (major.minor.patch).

EXAMPLES
       Show the currently installed version of CUPS:

	   cups-config --version

	   cc `cups-config --cflags --ldflags` -o filter filter.c \
	       `cups-config --libs`
