UUID-CONFIG(1)

💅 UUID-CONFIG(1) — from the Universally Unique Identifier manual 💅

okay so welcome to the uuid-config(1) page, bestie — manual name folded in right at the top like a little name tag 🫶. This is the manual for uuid-config, the OSSP uuid API build utility.

✨ NAME ✨

uuid-config — OSSP uuid API build utility. That’s the whole name, and yes it’s doing main character energy.

🎀 VERSION 🎀

OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008) — iconic, dated, and staying exactly like that 💖.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

uuid-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix]
       [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir]
       [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so uuid-config is this little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the uuid(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the uuid(3) library. Basically it’s the friend who tells your build system what to wear 💅.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

uuid-config accepts the following options:

• --help — Prints the short usage information. 🫶
• --version — Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library. 🎀
• --all — Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid specific. 🔥
• --prefix — Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files 🌸
• --exec-prefix — Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files. 🦋
• --bindir — Prints the installation directory of binaries. 👑
• --libdir — Prints the installation directory of libraries. 💜
• --includedir — Prints the installation directory of include headers. 🧚
• --mandir — Prints the installation directory of manual pages. 💖
• --datadir — Prints the installation directory of shared data. 🍓
• --acdir — Prints the installation directory of autoconf data. ⭐
• --cflags — Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. 😭
• --ldflags — Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. 🔥
• --libs — Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. 💜

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Here’s the example, and it’s giving “drop this in your Makefile and slay” ✨:

CC      = cc
CFLAGS  = -O `uuid-config --cflags`
LDFLAGS = `uuid-config --ldflags`
LIBS    = -lm `uuid-config --libs`

all: foo
foo: foo.o
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
foo.o: foo.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
