# gadap-config(1)

Return metainformation about installed libraries

## NAME

gadap-config - Return metainformation about installed libraries

## SYNOPSIS

**gadap-config** \[--help\]  \[--cc\] \[--cxx \] \[--cflags\] \[--libs\] \[--prefix\] \[--version\]

## DESCRIPTION

The *gadap-config* program is used to retrieve information about the GADAP library on the system. On Debian it is deprecated in favour of using *pkg-config gadap* as the latter can be used for multiple libraries.

## OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

- *--version*

  Displays the version of *pkg-config* and terminates.

- *--help*

  Displays a help message and terminates.

- *--cflags*

  This prints pre-processor and compile flags required to compile the packages on the command line, including flags for all their dependencies.  *gadap-config* exits with a nonzero code if it can't find metadata for one or more of the packages on the command line.

- *--libs*

  This option is identical to "--cflags", only it prints the link flags.

- *--cc*

  This option lists the C compiler that should be used for compatability.

- *-cxx*

  This option lists the C++ compiler that should be used for compatability.

- *--prefix*

  This option prints the value of the prefix variable, giving the location at which the library was installed.
