DESCRIPTION
       cups-config is the CUPS program configuration utility.  It  should  be
       used by application developers to determine the necessary command-line
       options for the compiler and linker, as well as determining  installa-
       tion directories for filters, configuration files, and drivers.

       The   --api-version   command   displays	  the	current	 API  version
       (major.minor).

       The --cflags command displays the necessary compiler options.

       The --datadir command displays the default CUPS data directory.

       The --help command displays the program usage message.

       The --ldflags command displays the necessary linker options.

       The --libs command displays the necessary librarys to  link  to.	  The
       --image	option	adds  the  CUPS	 imaging  library  to  the list.  The
       --static option shows the static	 libraries  instead  of	 the  default
       (shared) libraries.

       The  --serverbin	 command  displays the default CUPS binary directory,
       where filters and backends are stored.

       The --serverroot command displays the default CUPS configuration	 file
       directory.

       The  --version  command	displays  the full version number of the CUPS
       installation (major.minor.patch).
