odbc_config(1)

💖 odbc_config(1) — the unixODBC manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so odbc_config lives in the unixODBC manual pages, and she's about to become your new fave. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

odbc_config — generates compiler information intended for use when developing a unixODBC client 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

odbc_config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--include-prefix] [--lib-prefix]
            [--bin-prefix] [--version] [--libs] [--static-libs]
            [--libtool-libs] [--cflags] [--odbcversion] [--odbcini]
            [--odbcinstini] [--header] [--ulen]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically odbc_config spills the tea about how unixODBC was compiled for your specific system and architecture. it's giving "personalized info dump" 💅

and the info it generates? super useful for building unixODBC clients and similar programs. like, if you're compiling something that talks to unixODBC, this is your girl. periodt. 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --prefix — the prefix for architecture-independent files 🌸
• --exec-prefix — the prefix for architecture-dependent files 💜
• --include-prefix — the directory holding the C header files for unixODBC 🎀
• --lib-prefix — the directory holding unixODBC shared libraries 🦋
• --bin-prefix — the directory holding unixODBC utilities ⭐
• --version — the current version of unixODBC, iykyk 👑
• --libs — compiler flags for linking dynamic libraries 🔥
• --static-libs — the absolute file name of the unixODBC static library (libodbc.a) 💀
• --libtool-libs — the absolute file name of the unixODBC libtool library (libodbc.la) 🧚
• --cflags — outputs compiler flags to find header files, plus the critical compiler flags and defines used when compiling the libodbc library. the way that it does both?? iconic 🙈
• --odbcversion — the version of the ODBC specification that unixODBC uses 🌈
• --odbcini — the absolute file name of the system-wide DSN configuration file odbc.ini 🍓
• --odbcinstini — the absolute file name of the unixODBC driver configuration file odbcinst.ini 💖
• --header — definitions of C preprocessor constants used by unixODBC. and bestie, the generated output can be piped straight into a C header file — chef's kiss ✨
• --ulen — the compiler flag that defines SIZEOF_SQLULEN 💅
