## DESCRIPTION

**isc-config.sh** prints information related to the installed version of ISC BIND, such as the compiler and linker flags required to compile and link programs that use ISC BIND libraries.

The allowed choices are: **isc**, **isccc**, **isccfg**, **dns**, **lwres**, and **bind9**. Multiple libraries may be listed on the command line. (Some libraries require other libraries, so are implied.)
