# ark-config(6)

script to get information about the installed version of libArk

## NAME

ark-config — script to get information about the installed version of libArk

## SYNOPSIS

**ark-config** \[**--prefix=***DIR*\]  \[**--exec-prefix=** *DIR*\]  \[**--version**\]  \[**--libs**\]  \[**--cflags**\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**ark-config** is  a  tool  that is used to configure to determine  the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use  libArk.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax,  with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').  A summary of  options is included below.

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libArk was built  with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also  used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified  before any --libs or --cflags options.

- **--exec-prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that libArk was built  with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be  specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of libArk on the standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a libArk program.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a libArk program.
