<title>Description</>
<para>
The <application>pg_config</> stores and provides configuration parameters
of the currently installed version of <productname>PostgreSQL</>. It is
intended, for example, to be used by software packages that want to interface
to <productname>PostgreSQL</> in order to find the respective header files
and libraries.
</para>
<para>
To use <application>pg_config</>, supply one or more of the following options:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>--bindir</>
<listitem>
<para>
Print the location of user executables. Use this, for example, to find
the <application>psql</> program. This is normally also the location
where the <filename>pg_config</> program resides.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--includedir</>
<listitem>
<para>
Print the location of C and C++ header files.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--libdir</>
<listitem>
<para>
Print the location of object code libraries.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--configure</>
<listitem>
<para>
Print the options that were given to the <filename>configure</>
script when <productname>PostgreSQL</> was configured for building.
This can be used to reproduce the identical configuration, or
to find out with what options a binary package was built. (Note
however that binary packages often contain vendor-specific custom
patches.)
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>--version</>
<listitem>
<para>
Print the version of <productname>PostgreSQL</> and exit.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
If more than one option (except for <option>--version</>) is given, the
information is printed in that order, one item per line.
</para>
