# exim4-localscan-plugin-config(1)

get information necessary to build and package exim4 plugins

## NAME

exim4-localscan-plugin-config - get information necessary to build and package exim4 plugins

## SYNOPSIS

**exim4-localscan-plugin-config** **--localscan-abiversion**

## DESCRIPTION

**exim4-localscan-plugin-config** is a tool that is used to determine various things needed to build plugins (shared libraries) for the Exim MTA. Currently there is one such plugin API - the **local\_scan** API. In addition to local\_scan plugins, this API is also available to shared libraries used with the ${dlfunc ...} expansion item.

## OPTIONS

Since **exim4-localscan-plugin-config** is Debian(TM)-specific, it currently takes a single mandatory option parameter, **--localscan-apiversion**, outputting the API/ABI version (*ver*). Packages containing local\_scan plugins should depend on exim4-localscanapi-*ver*

## SEE ALSO
