+.RE
+.PP
+You can use
+\fBmysql_config\fR
+within a command line to include the value that it displays for a particular option. For example, to compile a MySQL client program, use
+\fBmysql_config\fR
+as follows:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBCFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config\fR
+shell> \fBsh \-c "gcc \-o progname `$CFG \-\-include` progname.c `$CFG \-\-libs`"\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+When you use
+\fBmysql_config\fR
+this way, be sure to invoke it within backtick (\(lq`\(rq) characters. That tells the shell to execute it and substitute its output into the surrounding command.
