mariadb_config

mariadb_config

On Posix platforms MariaDB Connector/C provides the mariadb_config binary which provides necessary information to build client applications with MariaDB Connector/C.

Options

All options returned are tied to the compiler and linker which were used to build MariaDB Connector/C. They might be not compatible if you use a different compiler or linker.

• --clags C compiler flags and include file settings. If no special include file settings were specified, this option is identical to --include option

• --include returns the compiler options for finding MariaDB Connector/C include files

• --libs, --libs_r returns the required options to link with MariaDB Connector/C. MariaDB Connector/C is always build thread safe, so the output of both options is the same.

• --libs_sys returns the system libraries used to link with MariaDB Connector/C.

• --version returns the version number. This version number corresponds to the MariaDB server package.

• --cc_version returns the version number of MariaDB Connector/C.

• --socket returns the default location for unix socket file

• --port returns the default port for connection to MariaDB server.

• --plugindir returns the location of the installed client plugins of MariaDB Connector/C.

• --tlsinfo returns the TLS/crypto library and version number in use.
