 NAME
      xml2-config - script to get information about the installed version of
      libxml2

 SYNOPSIS
      xml2-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

 DESCRIPTION
      xml2-config is a tool that is used to determine the compile and linker
      flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
      libxml2.

 OPTIONS
      xml2-config accepts the following options:

      --version
              Print the currently installed version of libxml2 on the
              standard output.

      --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a libxml2
              program.  Add --dynamic after --libs to print only shared
              library linking information.

      --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a
              libxml2 program.

      --prefix=PREFIX
              If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix
              that libxml2 was built with when computing the output for the
              --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified
              before any --libs or --cflags options.
