GSL(1)

✨ GSL(1) — the whole vibe ✨

okay so bestie, you've stumbled into the General Commands Manual and specifically into GSL(1). This is the page for gsl-config, and honestly? It's a little script that does a big job. Let's get into it. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsl-config — a script to get the version number and the compiler flags of the installed GSL library. That's it. That's the whole job. And she does it flawlessly, no cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gsl-config [--prefix]  [--version] [--libs] [--libs-without-cblas]
[--cflags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So gsl-config is a tool that is used to configure — like, the whole point of her is to figure out the compiler and linker flags you should be using to compile and link programs that use GSL. She's the friend who already knows the answer and just hands it to you. 💖

She's also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship with GSL. So yes, she's out here working behind the scenes for the build system too. main character energy but make it lowkey. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

gsl-config accepts the following options, and there are exactly five, so there's literally no excuse not to learn them all:

• --version — prints the currently installed version of GSL straight to standard output. Boom, you know what you're working with. 🌈
• --libs — prints the linker flags that are necessary to link a GSL program, with cblas. 🧚
• --libs-without-cblas — same deal, prints the linker flags necessary to link a GSL program, but without cblas. Yes bestie, this is the one you want when you don't want cblas in the mix. 💀
• --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GSL program. Compile-time queen. 🎀
• --prefix — shows the GSL installation prefix. iykyk, sometimes you just need to know where she lives. 🏠
