.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIgimptool\fP is a tool that can, among other things, build
plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one
source file.
.PP
\fIgimptool\fP can also be used by programs that need to know what
libraries and include-paths \fIGIMP\fP was compiled with. \fIgimptool\fP
uses \fIpkg-config\fP for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended
that you use \fIpkg-config\fP directly instead of calling \fIgimptool\fP.


.SH OPTIONS
\fIgimptool\fP accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B  \-\-version
Print the currently installed version of \fIGIMP\fP on the standard output.
.TP 8
.B \-\-help
Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options.
.TP 8
.B \-\-quiet
Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.
.TP 8
.B \-\-silent
Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as \-\-quiet.
.TP 8
.B \-n
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Useful for
making dry runs for testing.
.TP 8
.B \-\-just-print
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as \-n.
.TP 8
.B \-\-dry-run
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as \-n.
.TP 8
.B \-\-recon
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as \-n.
.TP 8
.B \-\-msvc-syntax

used by Microsoft's toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config command that
does most of \fIgimptool\fP's work.
