PARAVIEW-CONFIG(1)

💖 NAME 💖

paraview-config — extract flags for linking to ParaView 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay bestie, listen up, because this one is lowkey iconic 👑

so like. the usage is literally this, no notes:

paraview-config [-h] [-c COMPONENT] [-v COMPONENT] [-C CMAKE]
                [-G GENERATOR] [-p PARAVIEW DIR] [-f] [-l] [-V]

and what it does, fr fr? Extract required flags for linking to ParaView. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it goes and finds the flags you need so you can link your stuff against ParaView without losing your entire mind 😭

🎀 options: 🎀

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the little "help meee" button 💅
• -c, --component COMPONENT — Component to search for 🔍
• -v, --vtk-component COMPONENT — VTK component to search for 🦋 (yes it's a whole separate kind of component, not me mixing them up)
• -C, --cmake CMAKE — path to CMake to use 🛠️
• -G, --generator GENERATOR — the CMake generator to use 🎛️
• -p, --paraview PARAVIEW DIR — where to find paraview-config.cmake 📁 that's the file, that's the whole point
• -f, --cppflags — print CPP flags for using the components 🌱
• -l, --ldflags — print linker flags for using the components 🔗
• -V, --verbose — print all output 👀 no secrets, we're being transparent bestie

bestie reminder 🫶 everything above is exactly what the page says — same flags, same components, same paths. i just made it cute. periodt 💅

and that's a wrap, bestie!! 🌸 this lil page is paraview, dated March 2026, and it lives in the PARAVIEW-CONFIG(1) section of the manual ✨ go forth and link, you absolute main character 👑💜
