2021-03-10                                            CUPS                                        cups-config(1)

       The following options are deprecated but continue to work for backwards compatibility:

       --image
            Formerly used to add the CUPS imaging library to the list of libraries.

       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.  Note: This command is deprecated and  will  be
       removed in a future version of CUPS.  The pkg-config(1) command should be used instead.

       Show the currently installed version of CUPS:

           cups-config --version

       Compile a simple one-file CUPS filter:

           cc `cups-config --cflags --ldflags` -o filter filter.c \
               `cups-config --libs`
