🎀 NAME 🎀

trademgen-config — Configuration Script for the C++ Simulated Travel Demand Generation Library

like. that's literally it. it configures stuff. for TraDemGen. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

trademgen-config [--prefix] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

that's the shape of it! you call it, you throw some flags at it, it tells you things. simple. iconic. no notes. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so trademgen-config is a tool that configure uses to figure out which compiler flags and linker flags you should be using to compile and link programs that use TraDemGen. that's its whole job and it ate. 🔥

it's also used internally by the .m4 macros that ship with TraDemGen, for GNU autoconf. so like, it's the backstage crew of your build system. main character energy but behind the scenes, yk? 🎬

👑 OPTIONS 👑

trademgen-config accepts the following options, and bestie, we're going through every single one because we don't skip:

• --help — displays this help and exits. the classic. the "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
• --prefix — shows the TraDemGen installation prefix. where it lives, basically. its home address. 🏠
• --version — prints the currently installed version of TraDemGen on the standard output. very "who am i" of it. ⭐
• --libs — prints the linker flags that are necessary to link with the TraDemGen library. this is the "how do i connect to it" answer. 🔗
• --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile with the TraDemGen library. this is the "how do i speak its language" answer. 🗣️
• --sampledir — shows where the (StdAir CSV) sample files are located. yes, StdAir CSV, that's the exact vibe, i don't make the rules. 🍓
• --mandir — shows where the manual pages are located. (hi, that's me, i live here 🥰)
• --infodir — shows where the information pages are located. 📖
• --docdir — shows the documentation base directory. the mothership of docs. 🛸
• --htmldocpath — shows where the HTML documentation is located. pretty docs, clickable docs. 🌈
• --refmanpath — shows where the PDF documentation is located. the printable ones. very old school of them, we respect it. 📄

ngl bestie, if you're staring at this list wondering which one you need, it's almost always --cflags and --libs. but like, do NOT quote me on that as a rule, i'm just vibing. the page says what the page says. 💅
