<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QLibraryInfo class provides information about the Qt library.</p>
<p>Many pieces of information are established when Qt is configured. Installation paths, license information, and even a unique build key. This class provides an abstraction for accessing this information.</p>
<p><table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<thead><tr valign="top" class="qt-style"><th>Function</th><th>Return value</th></tr></thead>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><a href="qlibraryinfo.html#buildKey">buildKey</a>()</td><td>A string that identifies the Qt version and the configuration. This key is used to ensure that <a href="plugins.html">plugins</a> link against the same version of Qt as the application.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td><a href="qlibraryinfo.html#location">location</a>()</td><td>The path to a certain Qt component (e.g., documentation, header files).</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><a href="qlibraryinfo.html#licensee">licensee</a>(), <a href="qlibraryinfo.html#licensedProducts">licensedProducts</a>()</td><td>Licensing information.</td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>You can also use a <tt>qt.conf</tt> file to override the hard-coded paths that are compiled into the Qt library. For more information, see the <a href="qt-conf.html">Using qt.conf</a> documentation.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qsysinfo.html">QSysInfo</a> and <a href="qt-conf.html">Using qt.conf</a>.</p>
