=head1 NAME
B<mm-config> - OSSP mm library configuration/build utility
=head1 VERSION
OSSP mm MM_VERSION_STR
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<mm-config>
[B<--help>]
[B<--version>]
[B<--cflags>]
[B<--ldflags>]
[B<--libs>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<mm-config> program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and
building applications based on the mm(3) library. It can be used to query the
C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link
the application against the mm(3) library.
=head1 OPTIONS
B<mm-config> accepts the following options:
=over 4
=item B<--help>
Prints the short usage information.
=item B<--version>
Prints the version number and date of the installed mm(3) library.
=item B<--cflags>
Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the mm(3)-based
application. The output is usually added to the C<CFLAGS> variable of the
applications C<Makefile>.
=item B<--ldflags>
Prints the linker flags (C<-L>) which are needed to link the application with
the mm(3) library. The output is usually added to the C<LDFLAGS> variable of
the applications C<Makefile>.
=item B<--libs>
Prints the library flags (C<-l>) which are needed to link the application with
the mm(3) library. The output is usually added to the C<LIBS> variable of the
applications C<Makefile>.
