84       USAGE  Here are some real life usages.
85
86              Checks for xft support:
87              if fvwm-config --supports-xft;
88                then echo 1; else echo 0; fi
89
90              fvwm-themes  package  checks  for  the  correct   fvwm   version
91              installed using:
92              fvwm-config --version
93              and tries to use the same installation directories:
94              fvwm-config --bindir --mandir --fvwm-datadir
95
96              A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable:
97              echo `fvwm-config --bindir`/`fvwm-config --fvwm-exe`
98
99              A way to start modules in perl:
100              use lib `fvwm-config -p | tr -d '0`;
101              use FVWM::Module;
102
103              For a more human readable output, try:
104              fvwm-config --info
