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 directory.

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