# log4shib-config(1)

Flags for linking with the log4shib library

## NAME

log4shib-config - Flags for linking with the log4shib library

## SYNOPSIS

**log4shib-config** \[**--prefix**\[=*dir*\]\] \[**--exec-prefix**\[=*dir*\]\]\
     \[**--package**\] \[**--version**\] \[**--cflags**\] \[**--libs**\] \[**--help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**log4shib-config** prints out various configuration information for the log4shib library, such as the compiler and linker flags required to build and link programs against the library.

log4shib provides a library of C++ classes for flexible logging to files, syslog, and other destinations.  It is modeled after the log4j Java library, staying as close to that API as is reasonable.

log4shib is a fork of the log4cpp library with additional fixes and modifications to improve its thread safety and robustness.  It is primarily intended for use by the Shibboleth web authentication system.

## OPTIONS

- **--help**

  Prints a usage message.  This is the default action.

- **--cflags**

  Prints the compiler flags required to build software using log4shib.

- **--libs**

  Prints the linker flags required to link software with log4shib.

- **--package**

  Prints the name of the log4shib package.

- **--version**

  Prints the version of log4shib from which this script came.

- **--prefix**\[=*dir*\]

  Prints the prefix with which log4shib was compiled.  If the optional argument is supplied, also sets the prefix to *dir* for any subsequent flags.  (This is rarely useful.)

- **--exec-prefix**\[=*dir*\]

  Prints the prefix for compiled files with which log4shib was compiled.  If the optional argument is supplied, also sets the exec prefix to *dir* for any subsequent flags.  (This is rarely useful.)

Other, lesser-used options are also available to print out additional configure-time information.  Run with **--help** for a full list of available options.
