# wv2-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of wv2

## NAME

wv2-config - script to get information about the installed version of wv2

## SYNOPSIS

**wv2-config** \[**--prefix**\[=*DIR*\]\] \[**--exec-prefix**\[=*DIR*\]\] \[**--version**\] \[**--libs**\] \[**--cflags**\]

## DESCRIPTION

*wv2-config* is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use *wv2*.

## OPTIONS

*wv2-config* accepts the following options.

- **--prefix**=*DIR*

  If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that *wv2* 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 is not specified.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation prefix will be written to standard output.

- **--exec-prefix**=*DIR*

  If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that *wv2* was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation exec prefix will be written to standard output.

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of *wv2* on standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program against *wv2*.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses *wv2*.
