# libftdi-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of libftdi

## NAME

libftdi-config - script to get information about the installed version of libftdi

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

*libftdi-ftdi* 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 *libftdi*.

## OPTIONS

*libftdi-config* accepts the following options:

- **LIBRARIES**

  This argument is currently ignored as libftdi as only one library.

- **--version**

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

- **--libs**

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

- **--cflags**

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

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

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