+.SH NAME
+ginac-config \- script to get information about the installed version of GiNaC
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+[\-\-prefix\fI[=DIR]\fP] [\-\-exec\-prefix\fI[=DIR]\fP] [\-\-version] [\-\-libs] [\-\-cppflags]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.B ginac-config
+is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that
+should be used to compile and link programs that use GiNaC. It is also used
+internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with GiNaC.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+Print the currently installed version of GiNaC on the standard output.
+.TP
+.B \-\-libs
+Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GiNaC program.
+.TP
+.B \-\-cppflags
+Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GiNaC program.
+.TP
+.B \-\-prefix=PREFIX
+If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GiNaC was
+built with when computing the output for the \-\-cppflags and \-\-libs
+options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if \-\-exec\-prefix was
+not specified. This option must be specified before any \-\-libs or
+\-\-cppflags options.
+.TP
+.B \-\-exec\-prefix=PREFIX
+If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that GiNaC
+was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cppflags and \-\-libs
+options.  This option must be specified before any \-\-libs or \-\-cppflags
+options.
