# [NAME](#NAME)

odbc\_config - Generates compiler information intended for use when developing a unixODBC client

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

`odbc_config` \[**--prefix**] \[**--exec-prefix**] \[**--include-prefix**] \[**--lib-prefix**] \[**--bin-prefix**] \[**--version**] \[**--libs**] \[**--static-libs**] \[**--libtool-libs**] \[**--cflags**] \[**--odbcversion**] \[**--odbcini**] \[**--odbcinstini**] \[**--header**] \[**--ulen**]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**odbc\_config** provides information about how unixODBC was compiled for your system and architecture. The information generated is useful for building unixODBC clients and similar programs.

Prefix for architecture-independent files.

[--exec-prefix](#exec-prefix)

Prefix for architecture-dependent files.

[--include-prefix](#include-prefix)

Directory containing C header files for unixODBC.

[--lib-prefix](#lib-prefix)

Directory containing unixODBC shared libraries.

[--bin-prefix](#bin-prefix)

Directory containing unixODBC utilities.

[--version](#version)

Current version of unixODBC.

[--libs](#libs)

Compiler flags for linking dynamic libraries.

[--static-libs](#static-libs)

Absolute file name of the unixODBC static library (libodbc.a).

[--libtool-libs](#libtool-libs)

Absolute file name of the unixODBC libtool library (libodbc.la).

[--cflags](#cflags)

Outputs compiler flags to find header files, as well as critical compiler flags and defines used when compiling the libodbc library.

[--odbcversion](#odbcversion)

Version of the ODBC specification used by unixODBC.

[--odbcini](#odbcini)

Absolute file name of the system-wide DSN configuration file *odbc.ini*.

[--odbcinstini](#odbcinstini)

Absolute file name of the unixODBC driver configuration file *odbcinst.ini*.

[--header](#header)

Definitions of C preprocessor constants used by unixODBC. Generated output can be piped into a C header file.

[--ulen](#ulen)

Compiler flag that defines *SIZEOF\_SQLULEN*.
