option names may be used.

-h --help -?
prints the short usage

-v --version -V
prints the version

-i --info
prints the full info page

-P --prefix
prints the installation prefix

-E --exec-prefix
prints the installation exec-prefix

-B --bindir
prints the installation bindir

-D --datadir
prints the installation datadir

-L --libexecdir
prints the installation libexecdir

-S --sysconfdir
prints the installation sysconfdir

-M --mandir
prints the installation mandir

-O --localedir
prints the installation localedir

-m --fvwm-moduledir
prints FVWM_MODULEDIR, where the modules are installed

-d --fvwm-datadir
prints FVWM_DATADIR, where the system wide configs are installed

-p --fvwm-perllibdir
prints FVWM_PERLLIBDIR, where the perl library is installed

-I --default-imagepath

-U --default-userdir
prints the default FVWM_USERDIR, note: $HOME is not expanded

-e --fvwm-exe
prints the fvwm executable name (in bindir)

-s --supports
lists all supported features, one per line

--supports-<feature>
prints nothing, returns: 0 if the <feature> is supported, 100 if not, 200 if
unknown. All or supported feature names may be found using --info or --supports
respectively.

USAGE Here are some real life usages.

Checks for xft support:
if fvwm-config --supports-xft;
then echo 1; else echo 0; fi

fvwm-themes package checks for the correct fvwm version installed using:
fvwm-config --version
and tries to use the same installation directories:
fvwm-config --bindir --mandir --fvwm-datadir

A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable:
echo `fvwm-config --bindir`/`fvwm-config --fvwm-exe`

A way to start modules in perl:
use lib `fvwm-config -p | tr -d '0`;
use FVWM::Module;

For a more human readable output, try:
fvwm-config --info
