sane-config (1)

sane-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--libs] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--version] [--help [OPTION]]

sane-config is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link SANE frontends to a SANE backend library (libsane).

sane-config accepts the following options (you can't use more than one option at the same time):

--version

Print the currently installed version of libsane on the standard output.

--help OPTION

Print a short usage message. If OPTION is specified, help for that option (e.g. --libs) is printed (if available).

--libs

Print the additional libraries that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane.

--ldflags

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane.

--cflags

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a SANE frontend.

--prefix

Print the prefix used during compilation of libsane.

--exec-prefix

Print the exec-prefix used during compilation of libsane.
