.SH DESCRIPTION
.B orbit2-config
is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that
should be used to compile and link programs that use the \fIorbit2\fP
library. It is also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf
that are included with \fIorbit2\fP.

The argument \fBclient\fP is used for compiling an orbit2 client, and
\fBserver\fP for compiling an orbit2 server.  In most cases, you will
use one (or both) of the options \fB\-\-cflags\fP or \fB\-\-libs\fP
(depending on whether you are compiling or linking.

.SH OPTIONS
.B orbit2-config
accepts the following options:
.TP
.B \-\-version
Print the currently installed version of \fIlibrary\fP on the standard output.
.TP
.B \-\-help
Print a usage summary.
.TP
.B \-\-cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using
the specified \fIlibrary\fP.
.TP
.B \-\-libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified
\fIlibrary\fP.
.TP
.BI \-\-prefix =PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that \fIlibrary\fP
was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cflags and
\-\-libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix
if \-\-exec\-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
before any \-\-libs or \-\-cflags options.
.TP
.BI \-\-exec\-prefix =PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that
\fIlibrary\fP was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cflags
and \-\-libs options.  This option must be specified before any
\-\-libs or \-\-cflags options.
.TP
.BI \-\-use-service= SERVICE
If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for using the
specified service.  Known values for SERVICE are: module CosNaming,
interfaces LNameComponent, LName.
