CDK5-CONFIG(1)

💖 cdk5-config — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is the cdk5-config page from section 1 of the manual, and it's literally just a little script that tells you stuff about the CDK you have installed on your machine. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdk5-config — a script to get information about the installed version of CDK. she's nosy, she's helpful, she's your girl. 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cdk5-config [options]

that's it. no positional args, no drama. just you, a flag, and the truth. 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

kay so here's the full menu, no skips, no skimming, we're doing all of them:

• --prefix — echos the package-prefix of cdk. the classic. the icon.
• --prefix=ARG — sets the package-prefix of cdk. now you're the one deciding. main character behaviour honestly. 👑
• --exec-prefix — echos the executable-prefix of cdk. different prefix, same energy.
• --exec-prefix=ARG — sets the executable-prefix of cdk. ARG goes in, vibes come out.
• --cflags — echos the C compiler flags needed to compile with cdk. gimme those flags bestie, I need them for the build. 🔥
• --libs — echos the libraries needed to link with cdk. link her up, periodt.
• --version — echos the release+patchdate version of cdk. "what version are you running?" answered, instantly, no cap.
• --abi-version — echos the ABI version of cdk. the ABI version specifically, not the release version. don't mix them up, I'm warning you kindly. 🙈
• --bindir — echos the directory containing cdk programs. where the executables live.
• --datadir — echos the directory containing cdk data. where the data lives.
• --libdir — echos the directory containing cdk libraries. where the libs live.
• --mandir — echos the directory containing cdk manpages. where this lives. hi, it's me. 😭
• --help — prints this message. when in doubt, ask for help, it's not a weakness it's a strategy. 🌈

little heads up: several of these just echo a value at you — they print, they don't silently perform magic. read what comes back, okay? 💜
