# audiofile-config(1)

script to get information about libaudiofile

## NAME

audiofile-config - script to get information about libaudiofile

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

**audiofile-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 **libaudiofile**. *Note*: **audiofile-config** is provided for compatibility with legacy software only.  Current projects should use **pkg-config** instead!

## OPTIONS

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of  **libaudiofile** on the standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program with **libaudiofile**.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program with  **libaudiofile**.

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

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