USAGE

93       Here are some real life usages.
94
95       Checks for xft support:
96       if fvwm-config --supports-xft;
97         then echo 1; else echo 0; fi
98
99       fvwm-themes package checks  for  the  correct  fvwm  version  installed
100       using:
101       fvwm-config --version
102       and tries to use the same installation directories:
103       fvwm-config --bindir --mandir --fvwm-datadir
104
105       A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable:
106       echo `fvwm-config --bindir`/`fvwm-config --fvwm-exe`
107
108       A way to start modules in perl:
109       use lib `fvwm-config -p | tr -d '0`;
110       use FVWM::Module;
111
112       For a more human readable output, try:
113       fvwm-config --info
114
