# lr\_check\_prereq(1)

check Lire prerequisites

## NAME

lr\_check\_prereq - check Lire prerequisites

## SYNOPSIS

**lr\_check\_prereq** **\[-i\]** *format*

## OPTIONS

- **-i**

  Check wether we're able to generate images, to display charts.

## DESCRIPTION

**lr\_check\_prereq** tests wether software, needed for Lire to generated output in *format*, is available on the system.  For most tests, the results from **configure**, which was run before Lire was build, are used.  When the needed software is not found on the system, **lr\_check\_prereq** exits with 1.  If all requirements are met, exit status is zero.

Supported *format*'s are: xml, txt, pdf, html, docbookx, xhtml, rtf and logml.

This script is called by [*lr\_log2report*(1)](/lr_log2report/1.md), so that it's able to abort early, when asked for an output format, not supported by the system.

Output on stderr is in the format expected by [*lr\_run*(1)](/lr_run/1.md).
