💖 APR-1-CONFIG(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for apr-1-config, a User Command and honestly a little backstage-pass legend. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

apr-1-config — returns metainformation about the apr library 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

apr-1-config [OPTION]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the apr-1-config program is literally your girl for pulling info about the apr library that's chilling on your system. it's the one you call when you wanna compile and link against the library. main character behavior, no cap. 💅

when you're linking with libtool, your app should do something like this:

APR_LIBS="`apr-1-config --link-libtool --libs`"

or, if you're linking directly, like this:

APR_LIBS="`apr-1-config --link-ld --libs`"

and listen — an application should use the results of --cflags, --cppflags, --includes, and --ldflags in its build process. not optional vibes, bestie. do it. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

these are the known values for OPTION, and yes we're doing all of them:

  • --prefix[=DIR] — change prefix to DIR
  • --bindir — print location where binaries are installed
  • --includedir — print location where headers are installed

  • --link-ld — print link switch(es) for linking to APR
  • --link-libtool — print the libtool inputs for linking to APR
  • --shlib-path-var — print the name of the shared library path env var
  • --apr-la-file — print the path to the .la file, if available
  • --apr-so-ext — print the extensions of shared objects on this platform
  • --apr-lib-target — print the libtool target information
