💖 mapnik-config — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is mapnik-config(1), living in the General Commands Manual section of your local man setup. she's here to spill the tea about your Mapnik install. no gatekeeping. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mapnik-config — returns meta-information about Mapnik. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mapnik-config [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents briefly the mapnik-config command. we're keeping it cute but we're not skimping, don't worry.

mapnik-config is a program that returns meta-information about the installed libmapnik. literally just asks your system "hey bestie, what are your vibes" and reports back. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. yes, two dashes, we're fancy like that. ✨

  • --prefix, --prefix=new_prefix — display the Mapnik prefix, or, alternatively, temporarily set the Mapnik prefix to new_prefix. note the word temporarily, she's not changing your whole life, just the vibe for right now. 🙈
  • --libs — print library linking information. 🧚
  • --dep-libs — print library linking information for Mapnik dependencies. the whole friend group, not just the main character. 🌈
  • --ldflags — print library paths (-L) information. 🍓
  • --cflags — print pre-processor and compiler flags. compiler girlies rise up. ⭐
  • --fonts — print the default fonts directory. typography slay. 💜
  • --input-plugins — print the default input plugins directory. 🔥
  • --json — print all config options as JSON objects. everything, all at once, in one beautiful blob. no cap. 👑
  • -h, --help — show summary of options. your girl is helpful, she'll remind you. 💖
  • -v, --version — shows version information. 🦋
  • --svn-revision — shows SVN revision information. deep lore. 🎀
