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>

This key is used to ensure that <a href="plugins.html">plugins</a>
link against the same version of Qt as the application.</td>

<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

documentation.</p>
