DESCRIPTION

This command has nothing to do with the SiLK Configuration file. See the silk.conf(5) manual page for information on that file.

OPTIONS

--silk-version

Print the version of SiLK as a simple string. This output from this switch is only the version number; the output does not include the additional configuration information that the --version switch normally prints.

--compiler

Print the compiler used to build SiLK.

--cflags

Print the include paths (that is, the -I switches) and any additional compiler flags to use when compiling a file against the SiLK header files. To only print the include paths, use --include.

--include

Print the include paths to use when compiling a file against the SiLK header files. See also --cflags.

--libs

This switch is an alias for --libsilk-libs.

--libsilk-libs

Print the linker flags (that is, the -L and -l switches) to use when linking a program against libsilk.so.

--libsilk-thrd-libs

Print the linker flags to use when linking a program against libsilk-thrd.so. Few external programs will need to use this library.

--libflowsource-libs

Print the linker flags to use when linking a program against libflowsource.so. It is highly unlikely that an external program will need to use this library.

--data-rootdir

Print the compiled-in value of the default location of the SiLK data repository, ignoring any environment variable settings.

--python-site-dir

Print the name of the directory containing the silk subdirectory where the PySiLK module files were installed. The user may need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to this location to be able to use PySiLK. The value will be empty if PySiLK support is not available in this build of SiLK.

--help

Print the available options and exit.

--version

Print the version number and information about how SiLK was configured, then exit the application.
