💖 xrootd-config — the get-config-info bestie 💖

okay so this is xrootd-config, a lil command-line utility from the XRootD squad (that's manual section 1, bestie 💅) and its whole entire job is making it easier for you to build applications that use XRootD. she's giving helpful build-tool energy and honestly? obsessed. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xrootd-config [options]

yeah that's it. no cap. you just run her with some options and she tells you things. 🌸

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The xrootd-config command line utility makes it easier to build applications that use XRootD. she's literally a little messenger between you and your build system.

It can print the installation prefix, compiler flags, and plugin version needed to link against XRootD. like, three whole flavors of useful. 🍓

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --cflags — prints the pre-processor and compiler flags on standard output. put these in your build and thank her later ✨
• --help — prints a usage message on standard output. when in doubt, ask for help, queen 👑
• --plugin-version — prints the plugin version on standard output. for when you GOTTA know which plugin you're dealing with 🌈
• --prefix — prints the installation prefix on standard output. the where-is-it-installed tea ☕
• --version — prints version information on standard output. version check, main character behavior ⭐

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

If xrootd-config succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. so like, 0 = we ate, non-zero = something went wrong and we're crying about it 😭
