   5 On some distributions, LTTng-UST is shipped with a pkg-config metadata
   6 file, so that you may use the `pkg-config` tool:
   7
   8 <pre class="term">
   9 pkg-config --libs lttng-ust
  10 </pre>
  11
  12 This prints `-llttng-ust -ldl` on Linux systems.
  13
  14 You may also check the LTTng-UST version using `pkg-config`:
  15
  16 <pre class="term">
  17 pkg-config --modversion lttng-ust
  18 </pre>
