💖 yazpp-config(1) — the little script that tells you everything about YAZ++ 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is yazpp-config, a manual page for a script that spills all the tea about YAZ++ ✨ it's a command, it lives in section 1 of the manual, and it is genuinely so useful it's unreal.

🌸 NAME 🌸

yazpp-config</p> — a script that hands you all the info you need about YAZ++. no cap, that's literally its whole job and it does it flawlessly 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

yazpp-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--lalibs] [--cflags]
             [libraries...]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. options in, answers out 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the thing: yazpp-config is a script that returns the information your own software should use to build software that uses YAZ++. like, you're out here writing your own thing, and you need to know how to link against YAZ++, and instead of guessing you just ask this script. iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑

here are the libraries it supports:

  • zoom — report the zoompp library instead of yazpp. yes queen, swap the whole library out, we love options 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --prefix[=DIR] — returns the prefix of YAZ++, or, if you pass a DIR, assumes a different prefix instead. so you can be like "actually it's over here" and it'll respect that. periodt.
  • --version — returns the version of YAZ++. the classic "what are we working with" move ⭐
  • --libs — the library specification to use when you're using YAZ++. this is the one you feed to your build, bestie 🔥
  • --lalibs — returns the Libtool library specification. for the libtool girlies 🎀
  • --cflags — returns the C++ compiler flags. give these to your compiler and watch it slay 🌈

🍓 FILES 🍓

these are the paths involved, exactly as they are, no edits from me:

  • prefix/bin/yazpp-config
  • prefix/lib/libyazpp*.a
  • prefix/include/yazpp/*.h

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • yaz(7) — the main YAZ manual page, go read it, it's giving essential
  • the Section "How to make apps using YAZ on UNIX" in the YAZ manual. if you're building apps on UNIX, this is your moment, iykyk 💜
