General Commands Manual, bestie 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

MagickWand-config, aka the tool that lets you snag info about the installed version of the Magick Wand 🪄

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

MagickWand-config [--cflags] [--cppflags] [--exec-prefix] [--ldflags]
[--libs] [--prefix] [--version]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so MagickWand-config is literally the one that prints out the compiler and linker flags you need to compile and link programs that use the Wand Application Programmer Interface. it's giving main character energy 💅

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

wanna check which version of Wand is installed? just do this:

MagickWand-config --version

wanna compile a program that calls the Wand Application Programmer Interface? do this instead:

cc `MagickWand-config --cflags --cppflags --ldflags --libs` program.c

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --cflags — spills the compiler flags that were used to build libWand 🔥
• --cppflags — gives you the preprocessor flags you need to find the Wand C include files and defines. this keeps your Wand data structures lined up with the installed libraries so nothing gets weird 🫶
• --exec-prefix — shows the directory where the target specific binaries and executables are installed 📂
• --ldflags — prints the linker flags you need to link with the Wand library 🍓
• --libs — prints the linker flags you need to link a program with libWand 💜
• --version — prints the version of the Wand distribution to standard output. ate and left no crumbs ✨

heads up bestie 👀 --prefix shows up in the SYNOPSIS, but this page doesn't give it its own OPTIONS entry, so there's no description for it here.
