DESCRIPTION
       icu-config  simplifies  the task of building and linking against ICU as
       compared to manually configuring user makefiles or equivalent.  Because
       icu-config  is  an  executable  script,	it  also solves the problem of
       locating the ICU libraries and headers, by allowing the system PATH  to
       locate it.

EXAMPLES
       icu-config  can	be  used without a makefile. The command line below is
       sufficient for building a single-file c++  program  against  ICU.  (For
       example, icu/source/samples/props/props.cpp)

	      `icu-config  --cxx  --cxxflags  --cppflags  --ldflags`  -o props
	      props.cpp

       More commonly, icu-config will be called from within  a	makefile,  and
       used  to	 set up variables. The following example also builds the props
       example.

	      CC=$(shell icu-config --cc)

	      CXX=$(shell icu-config --cxx)

	      CPPFLAGS=$(shell icu-config --cppflags)

	      CXXFLAGS=$(shell icu-config --cxxflags)

	      LDFLAGS =$(shell icu-config --ldflags)

	      all: props

	      props.o: props.cpp

       make(1) will automatically use the above variables.

OPTIONS
       --bindir
	      Prints the binary (executable) directory path. Normally  equiva-
	      lent to 'bin'.  ICU user-executable applications and scripts are
	      found here.

       --cc   Print the C compiler used.  Equivalent  to  the  $(CC)  Makefile
	      variable.

       --cflags
	      Print the C compiler flags. Equivalent to the $(CFLAGS) Makefile
	      variable.	 Does NOT  include  preprocessor  directives  such  as
	      include path or defined symbols. Examples include debugging (-g)
	      and optimization flags

       --cppflags
	      Print the C preprocessor flags. Equivalent  to  the  $(CPPFLAGS)
	      Makefile	variable. Examples are -I include paths	 and -D define
	      directives.

       --cppflags-searchpath
	      Print the C preprocessor flags, as  above	 but  only  -I	search
	      paths.

       --cxx  Print  the C++ compiler. Equivalent to the $(CXX) Makefile vari-
	      able.

       --cxxflags
	      Print the C++ compiler  flags.  Equivalent  to  the  $(CXXFLAGS)
	      Makefile variable.

       --detect-prefix
	      If  ICU  has  been moved from its installed location, prepending
	      this flag to other icu-config calls will attempt to  locate  ICU
	      relative to where the icu-config script has been located. Can be
	      used as a last-chance effort if the ICU install  has  been  dam-
	      aged.

       --exec-prefix
	      Print  the  prefix used for executable program directories (such
	      as bin, sbin, etc). Normally the same as the prefix.

       --exists
	      Script will return with a successful (0) status if ICU seems  to
	      be  installed  and located correctly, otherwise an error message
	      and nonzero status will be displayed.

       --help, -?,--usage
	      Print a help and usage message.

       --icudata
	      Print the shortname of the ICU data file. This does not  include
	      any  suffix  such	 as .dat, .dll, .so, .lib, .a, etc nor does it
	      include  prefixes	 such  as  'lib'.   It	may  be	 in  the  form
	      libicudt21b

       --icudata-installdir
	      Print the directory where ICU packaged data should be installed.
	      Can use as pkgdata(1)'s --install option.

       --icudata-mode
	      Print the default ICU pkgdata mode, such as dll or common.   Can
	      use as pkgdata(1)'s --mode option.

       --icudatadir
	      Print  the  path	to  packaged  archive  data.  (should be where
	      $ICU_DATA or equivalent default path points.)  Will NOT point to
	      the libdir.

       --invoke
	      If ICU is not installed in a location where the operating system
	      will locate its shared libraries, this  option  will  print  out
	      commands	so  as to set the appropriate environment variables to
	      load ICU's shared libraries. For	example,  on  many  systems  a
	      variable named LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent must be set.

       --invoke=prog
	      Same  as the --invoke option, except includes options for invok-
	      ing a program named prog.	 If prog is the name of an  ICU	 tool,
	      such  as	genrb(1),  then	 icu-config will also include the full
	      path to that tool.

       --ldflags
	      Print any flags which should be passed to the linker. These  may
	      include  -L  for	library search paths, and -l for including ICU
	      libraries. By default, this option will attempt to link  in  the
	      "common"	(libicuuc)  and "i18n" (libicui18n) libraries, as well
	      as the data library. If additional libraries are	required,  any
	      of the following two flags may be added in conjunction with this
	      one,  for	 example  "--ldflags  --ldflags-icuio"	if  the	 icuio
	      library  is  required in addition to the standard ICU libraries.
	      Equivalent to the $(LDFLAGS) Makefile variable.

       --ldflags-layout
	      Prints the link option for the ICU layout library.

       --ldflags-icuio
	      Prints the link option to add the ICU I/O package

       --ldflags-libsonly
	      Similar to --ldflags but only includes the -l options.

       --ldflags-searchpath
	      Similar to --ldflags  but	 only  includes	 the  -L  search  path
	      options.

       --ldflags-system
	      Similar to --ldflags but only includes system libraries (such as
	      pthreads) --mandir Prints the location of the installed ICU  man
	      pages. Normally (man)

       --prefix
	      Prints the prefix (base directory) under which the installed ICU
	      resides.

       --prefix=prefix
	      Sets the ICU prefix to prefix for the remainder of this  command
	      line.  Does test whether the new prefix is valid.

       --sbindir
	      Prints the location of ICU system binaries, normally (sbin)

       --shared-datadir
	      Prints the location of ICU shared data, normally (share)

       --sysconfdir
	      Prints  the  location of ICU system configuration data, normally
	      (etc)

       --unicode-version
	      Prints the Version of the Unicode Standard which the current ICU
	      uses.

       --version
	      Prints the current version of ICU.

       --incfile
	      Prints  the  'Makefile.inc'  path,  suitable  for	 use with pkg-
	      data(1)'s -O option.
