.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 | \-\-localpluginprefix | \-\-localdataprefix]
.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 system directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP expects
to find 'Magic' tool plugins (".so" shared objects).
(e.g., "/usr/share/tuxpaint/plugins")
.TP 8
.B \-\-localpluginprefix
Outputs the user directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP expects
to find 'Magic' tool plugins (".so" shared objects).
(e.g., "/home/username/.tuxpaint/plugins")
.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 system 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 installed system-wide will receive in the "data_directory" string
within the "magic_api" structure sent to the plugins' functions.
.TP 8
.B \-\-localdataprefix
Outputs the user directory where the installed copy of \fITux Paint\fP
expects plugins to install their local data files.
(e.g., "/home/username/.tuxpaint/plugins/data"). This is the same value
that plugins installed locally will receive in the "data_directory" string
within the "magic_api" structure sent to the plugins' functions.
