DESCRIPTION

22       The cups-config command allows application developers to determine  the
23       necessary  command-line options for the compiler and linker, as well as
24       the installation directories  for  filters,  configuration  files,  and
25       drivers.   All  values are reported to the standard output.  Note: This
26       command is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of  CUPS.
27       The pkg-config(1) command should be used instead.
28
