NAME

       odbcinst - An unixODBC tool for manipulating configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       odbcinst  is  a	command line tool which has been created for allowing people who are developing the install scripts/RPMs for Drivers to be
       able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This command line tool is a complement to the shared library of the same
       name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC.

OPTIONS

   ACTIONS
       -i     Install (add section to config file) new OBJECT.

       -u     Uninstall (remove section from config file) existing OBJECT.

       -q     Query the config files and print the options for specified OBJECT.

       -j     Prints current configuration of unixODBC, listing (among others) the paths to the configuration files.

       -c     Calls SQLCreateDataSource

       -m     Calls SQLManageDataSources

       --version
	      Prints program version and exits.

   OBJECTS
       -d     The ACTION affect drivers (and thus the odbcinst.ini configuration file).

       -s     The ACTION affect data sources (and thus the user or system odbc.ini configuration file).

   OPTIONS
       -f FILE
	      The FILE is template file, describing the configuration of installed OBJECT (only valid for the -i ACTION).

       -r     Same as the -f OPTION, only take the standard input as the template file.

       -n NAME
	      Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT.

       -v     Turn off verbose mode. This turns off all information, warning and error messages.

       -l     The specified data source is system-wide. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

       -h     The specified data source is user-specific. Has any effect only with the -s OBJECT.

RETURN VALUES

       This command returns zero on success and non-zero value on failure.

FILES

       /etc/odbinst.ini
	      Configuration file containing all the database drivers specifications. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more details.

       /etc/odbc.ini
	      System-wide data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.

       $HOME/.odbc.ini
	      User-specific data sources specifications. See odbc.ini(5) for more details.

NAME

       iodbc-config - script to get information about the installed version of iODBC

SYNOPSIS

       iodbc-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--cflags] [--libs] [--static-libs] [--libtool-libs] [--odbcini] [--odbcin-
       stini]

DESCRIPTION

       iodbc-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile  and	link  pro-
       grams that use iODBC.

OPTIONS

       iodbc-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of iODBC on the standard output.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile an iODBC program.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an iODBC program using dynamic libraries (if supported).

       --static-libs
	       Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an iODBC program using static libraries.

       --libtool-libs
	       Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an iODBC program in a libtool environment.

       --odbcini
	       Print the path of the system wide odbc.ini file.

       --odbcinstini
	       Print the path of the system wide odbcinst.ini file.

       --prefix[=PREFIX]
	       If  specified,  use  PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that iODBC was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
	       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 --cflags options.

	       If PREFIX is not specified, the --prefix flag shows where iODBC is currently installed.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	       If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead  of  the  installation exec prefix that iODBC was built with when computing the output for the
	       --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

EXAMPLES

       To compile a program that calls the iODBC API, make sure the iodbc-config program can be found in the  PATH  environment  variable,  before
       using the following Makefile fragment:

	   CFLAGS=`iodbc-config --cflags`
	   LDLIBS=`iodbc-config --libs`

	   iodbctest: iodbctest.c
		cc $(CFLAGS) -o iodbctest iodbctest.c $(LDLIBS)
