The cups-config command allows application developers to determine the necessary command-line options for the compiler and linker, as well as the installation directories for filters, configuration files, and drivers. All values are reported to the standard output. The cups-config command accepts the following command-line options:

5 --api-version Reports the current API version (major.minor).

5 --build Reports a system-specific build number.

5 --cflags Reports the necessary compiler options.

5 --datadir Reports the default CUPS data directory.

5 --help Reports the program usage message.

5 --ldflags Reports the necessary linker options.

5 --libs Reports the necessary libraries to link to.

5 --serverbin Reports the default CUPS binary directory, where filters and backends are stored.

5 --serverroot Reports the default CUPS configuration file directory.

5 --static When used with --libs, reports the static libraries instead of the default (shared) libraries.

5 --version Reports the full version number of the CUPS installation (major.minor.patch).

Show the currently installed version of CUPS:
