## Man pages: cherokee-config

This command-line tool is less known than the rest because it is to be used by system administrators and developers. There is not much to be added besides the syntax of the command. The main usage of this utility is determining the used flags during the compilation and linking process. This is useful to build programs that make use of Cherokee.

This is the full information provided by the manpage.
