+.SH NAME
+tp-magic-config -- Helps creating 'Magic' tool plugins for Tux Paint(1)
+
+.SH SYNOPSYS
+.TP 16
+.B tp-magic-config [\-\-apiversion | \-\-version | \-\-cflags | \-\-pluginprefix | \-\-plugindocprefix | \-\-dataprefix]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fItp-magic-config\fP is a simple shell script that responds with various
+pieces of information about the currently-installed version of
+\fITux Paint\fP(1) that are useful when building 'Magic' tool plugins.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-apiversion
+Outputs the version of the \fITux Paint\fP 'Magic' tool plugin API that the
+installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP supports. (For API compatibility testing.)
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-version
+Outputs the version of \fITux Paint\fP that \fItp-magic-config\fP
+corresponds to.
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-cflags
+Outputs the compiler flags that \fITux Paint\fP 'Magic' tool plugins should
+be compiled with. (For example, a "\-I" include path option that tells the
+compiler where it can find the plugin API header file, "tp_magic_config.h",
+that plugins must #include.)
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-pluginprefix
+Outputs the directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP expects
+to find 'Magic' tool plugins (".so" shared objects).
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-plugindocprefix
+Outputs the directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP expects
+to find documentation for 'Magic' tool plugins (".html" and ".txt" files).
+\fITux Paint's\fP main documentation includes a link to this directory
+under the section on "Magic" tools.
+.TP 8
+.B \-\-dataprefix
+Outputs the directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP keeps its
+global data files (e.g., "/usr/share/tuxpaint/"). This is the same value that
+plugins will receive in the "data_directory" string within the
+"magic_api" structure sent to the plugins' functions.
+
