💖 gw-config(1) — the kannel info getter 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual and it's all about gw-config, which is genuinely one of those little tools that just works and never asks for credit. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gw-config — a script that gets you info about the installed version of kannel 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gw-config [option]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional flag and you're off 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so gw-config is a tool you use to figure out the compiler and linker flags for the installed version of kannel. like, it's the little guy who tells your build system what it needs to know so everything links up all pretty ✨

real talk though — this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. no cap. so if you're on Debian (or anywhere else that uses this page), this is the lore. the original just never wrote one down, and we as a community said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and honestly? iconic. 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, and the long options start with two dashes (--). a summary of the options is included below, and here they are in all their glory:

  • --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses kannel. basically it's handing you the compiler's to-do list 🧚
  • --libs — prints the linker flags</linker> that are necessary to compile a program that uses kannel. this is the "hey linker, here's what you need" moment 🔥
  • --version — shows the currently installed version of kannel. quick lil vibe check on what you're running 💫

💜 AUTHOR 💜

this manual page was written by Paul Dwerryhouse <paul@dwerryhouse.com.au>, for the Debian project — but it may be used by others, so like, go off, use it wherever 🫶

🌈 the cute sign-off 🌈

and that's the tea bestie — this whole page is from the Kannel source, dated 2024-03-19, and we're officially done here. mwah 💋 go compile something cute. ✨🎀💖
