VDK(1)

💖 VDK — vdk-config 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about vdk-config, aka The VDK (2) C++ Library config script. it's giving "small tool, huge main character energy" and honestly? we're obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vdk-config-2 [-v --version] [-h --help] [-l --libs] [--libs-only-L]
[--libs-only-l] [-c --cflags] [-d --define]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so vdk-config-2 is that girl 💅 — she's the tool you run when you need to figure out which compiler and linker flags you should be using to compile and link programs that use VDK(2). basically she tells your build system what to wear. no cap.

and she's not just for you, bestie — she's also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship with VDK(2). so she's out here working two jobs and never complaining. periodt. 👑

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

vdk-config accepts the following options, and yes we're going through all of them, don't scroll:

• -v, --version — prints the currently installed version of VDK on the standard output. vibe check: passed. 🌈
• -h, --help — prints a short help on the standard output. she's a helpful queen.
• -l, --libs — prints the linker flags that are necessary to link a VDK program. the link-up. 🔗
• --libs-only-L — prints only the -L/-R part of the --libs. just the appetiser, not the whole meal. 🍓
• --libs-only-l — prints only the -l part of the --libs. lowercase l, lowercase energy, still iconic.
• -c, --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a VDK(2) program. your compiler could never guess these on its own, so be nice and pass them along. 🧚
• -d, --define — adds to the compiler flags a -D_VDK_. one little define. tiny. precious. essential. ✨

not me listing every single flag because every single flag matters. yes bestie, ALL of them. 🫶
