Change unfortunate but partly useful overreaching security tradeoff.
The principle of allocating each running process an individual system
user and group can have security benefits, however maintining a plethora
of users, groups, processes, file modes, file permissions, and even
nonportable file ACLs on a host serving from a hundred processes has
some security disadvantages. This tradeoff is even worse for systems
like OpenPKG which benefit from administration transparency through the
use of minimal system intrusion and only three usage privilege levels.

| michael@13 | 35 | OpenPKG RPM RPM_VERSION |
| michael@13 | 36 | |
| michael@13 | 37 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |

| michael@13 | 39 | B<rpm-config> |
| michael@13 | 40 | [B<--help>] |
| michael@13 | 41 | [B<--version>] |

| michael@13 | 47 | |
| michael@13 | 48 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| michael@13 | 49 | |
| michael@13 | 50 | The B<rpm-config> program is a little helper utility for easy |
| michael@13 | 51 | configuring and building applications based on the OpenPKG RPM library. |
| michael@13 | 52 | It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are |
| michael@13 | 53 | required to correctly compile and link the application against the |
| michael@13 | 54 | RPM library. |
| michael@13 | 55 | |
| michael@13 | 56 | =head1 OPTIONS |
| michael@13 | 57 | |
| michael@13 | 58 | B<rpm-config> accepts the following options: |
| michael@13 | 59 | |
| michael@13 | 60 | =over 4 |
| michael@13 | 61 | |
| michael@13 | 62 | =item B<--help> |
| michael@13 | 63 | |
| michael@13 | 64 | Prints the short usage information. |
| michael@13 | 65 | |
| michael@13 | 66 | =item B<--version> |
| michael@13 | 67 | |
| michael@13 | 68 | Prints the version number and date of the installed RPM library. |
| michael@13 | 69 | |
| michael@13 | 70 | =item B<--cc> |
| michael@13 | 71 | |
| michael@13 | 72 | =item B<--cppflags> |
| michael@13 | 73 | |
| michael@13 | 74 | Prints the C pre-processor flags (C<-I>) which are needed to compile the |
| michael@13 | 75 | RPM-based application. The output is usually added to the C<CPPFLAGS> |
| michael@13 | 76 | variable of the applications C<Makefile>. |
| michael@13 | 77 | |
| michael@13 | 78 | =item B<--cflags> |
| michael@13 | 79 | |
| michael@13 | 80 | Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the RPM-based |
| michael@13 | 81 | application. The output is usually added to the C<CFLAGS> variable of the |
| michael@13 | 82 | applications C<Makefile>. |
| michael@13 | 83 | |
| michael@13 | 84 | =item B<--ldflags> |
| michael@13 | 85 | |
| michael@13 | 86 | Prints the linker flags (C<-L>) which are needed to link the application with |
| michael@13 | 87 | the RPM library. The output is usually added to the C<LDFLAGS> variable of |
| michael@13 | 88 | the applications C<Makefile>. |
| michael@13 | 89 | |
| michael@13 | 90 | =item B<--libs> |
| michael@13 | 91 | |
| michael@13 | 92 | Prints the library flags (C<-l>) which are needed to link the application with |
| michael@13 | 93 | the RPM library. The output is usually added to the C<LIBS> variable of the |
| michael@13 | 94 | applications C<Makefile>. |
