💖 GPGME(1) — like, the whole vibe 💖

bestie bestie bestie, welcome to gpgme-config ✨ this little cutie lives in the User commands section of your manual, and she's about to tell you exactly what flags to feed your compiler. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gpgme-config — a script to get information about the installed version of GPGME 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gpgme-config [--api-version] [--cflags] [--exec-prefix] [--get-gpg]
[--get-gpgsm] [--host] [--libs] [--prefix] [--thread=pthread]
[--version]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. gpgme-config is the tool you use when you're configuring stuff — it figures out the compiler and linker flags you should be using to compile and link programs that use GPGME. it's giving "personal assistant for your build system" energy fr fr 💅

and it's not just for you! it's also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship inside GPGME. so like, she works behind the scenes too. main character but also a team player, we love to see it 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

gpgme-config accepts the following options — and yes, we're doing all of them, no skipping, we don't do that here 💖

  • --api-version — prints the currently installed API version of GPGME straight to standard output. very demure, very mindful.
  • --cflags — prints the compiler flags you need to compile a GPGME program. this is the one you want when your build is screaming at you.
  • --exec-prefix — prints the exec prefix that was used to configure the GPGME build.
  • --get-gpg — prints the path to the gpg(1) binary that was used to configure the GPGME build.
  • --get-gpgsm — prints the path to the gpgsm(1) binary that was used to configure the GPGME build. (yes, she knows about gpgsm too, versatile queen ✨)
  • --host — prints host information. that's it, that's the whole thing 🫶
  • --libs — prints the linker flags you need to link a GPGME program. pair her with --cflags and you're literally unstoppable.
  • --prefix — prints the prefix that was used to configure the GPGME build.
  • --thread=pthread — a switch for the --cflags and --libs options, for the thread-enabled GPGME version. iykyk 🧵
  • --version — prints the currently installed version of GPGME to standard output.
