  28
  29 <h2 class='title'>General Usage</h2>
  30
  31 <p>The <var>&lt;cups/cups.h&gt;</var> header file must be included to
  32 use the HTTP and IPP functions.</p>
  33
  34 <p>Programs using these functions must be linked to the CUPS
  35 library: <var>libcups.a</var>, <var>libcups.so.2</var>,
  36 <var>libcups.2.dylib</var>, <var>libcups_s.a</var>, or
  37 <var>libcups2.lib</var> depending on the platform. The following
  38 command compiles <var>myprogram.c</var> using GCC and the CUPS
  39 library:</p>
  40
  41 <pre class='command'>
  42 <kbd>gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c -lcups</kbd>
  43 </pre>
  44
  45 <h2 class='title'>Compatibility</h2>
  46
  47 <p>Unless otherwise specified, the HTTP and IPP API functions
  48 require CUPS 1.1 or higher.</p>
