pg_config
Retrieves information about the installed version of Apache Cloudberry.
Synopsis
pg_config [<option> ...]
pg_config -? | --help
pg_config --version
Description
The pg_config
utility prints configuration parameters of the currently installed version of Apache Cloudberry. It is intended, for example, to be used by software packages that want to interface to Apache Cloudberry to facilitate finding the required header files and libraries. Note that information printed out by pg_config
is for the Apache Cloudberry coordinator only.
If more than one option is given, the information is printed in that order, one item per line. If no options are given, all available information is printed, with labels.
Options
--bindir
Print the location of user executables. Use this, for example, to find the psql
program. This is normally also the location where the pg_config
program resides.
--docdir
Print the location of documentation files.
--includedir
Print the location of C header files of the client interfaces.
--pkgincludedir
Print the location of other C header files.
--includedir-server
Print the location of C header files for server programming.
--libdir
Print the location of object code libraries.
--pkglibdir
Print the location of dynamically loadable modules, or where the server would search for them. (Other architecture-dependent data files may also be installed in this directory.)
--localedir
Print the location of locale support files.
--mandir
Print the location of manual pages.
--sharedir
Print the location of architecture-independent support files.
--sysconfdir
Print the location of system-wide configuration files.
--pgxs
Print the location of extension makefiles.
--configure
Print the options that were given to the configure script when Apache Cloudberry was configured for building.
--cc
Print the value of the CC variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows the C compiler used.
--cppflags
Print the value of the CPPFLAGS
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows C compiler switches needed at preprocessing time.
--cflags
Print the value of the CFLAGS
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows C compiler switches.
--cflags_sl
Print the value of the CFLAGS_SL
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows extra C compiler switches used for building shared libraries.
--ldflags
Print the value of the LDFLAGS
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows linker switches.
--ldflags_ex
Print the value of the LDFLAGS_EX
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows linker switches that were used for building executables only.
--ldflags_sl
Print the value of the LDFLAGS_SL
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This shows linker switches used for building shared libraries only.
--libs
Print the value of the LIBS
variable that was used for building Apache Cloudberry. This normally contains -l
switches for external libraries linked into Apache Cloudberry.
--version
Print the version of Apache Cloudberry.
Examples
To reproduce the build configuration of the current Apache Cloudberry installation, run the following command:
eval ./configure 'pg_config --configure'
The output of pg_config --configure
contains shell quotation marks so arguments with spaces are represented correctly. Therefore, using eval
is required for proper results.
