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  installation  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 di-
     rectory.

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