Name
pg_config -- Provides information about the installed version of
PostgreSQLSynopsis
pg_config {--bindir | --includedir | --libdir | --configure | --version...}
Options
- --bindir
Print the location of user executables. Use this, for example, to find
the psql program. This is normally also the location
where the pg_config program resides.
- --configure
Print the options that were given to the configure
script when PostgreSQL was built.
This can be used to reproduce the identical configuration, or
to find out with what options a binary package was built.
- --includedir
Print the location of C and C++ header files.
- --libdir
Print the location of object code libraries.
- --version
Print the version of PostgreSQL.
If more than one option (except for
--version) is given, the
information is printed in that order, one item per line.
Description
The pg_config utility provides configuration parameters
of the currently installed version of PostgreSQL. It is
intended, for example, to be used by software packages that want to interface
to PostgreSQL in order to find the respective header files
and libraries.
