pcap-config − write libpcap compiler and linker flags to standard output
SYNOPSIS
pcap-config
[ −−help ] [ −−version
] [ −−cflags ]
[ −−libs |
−−additional−libs ]
[ −−static |
−−static−pcap−only ]
DESCRIPTION
pcap−config writes to the standard output various compiler and linker flags required to build a user program with libpcap. By default, it writes flags appropriate for building with a dynamically−linked version of libpcap; see below for static linking. Depending on the manner of libpcap installation, some options or their combinations may produce empty output − this is by design.
OPTIONS
|
−−help |
Produce a help message and exit. |
−−version
Produce libpcap version and exit. The version is the contents of VERSION file in libpcap source tree rather than the result of pcap_lib_version(3PCAP).
−−cflags
Produce the −I compiler flag required to include libpcap’s header files.
|
−−libs |
Produce the −L and −l linker flags required to link with libpcap, including −l flags for libraries required by libpcap. |
−−additional−libs
Produce the −L and −l linker flags for libraries required by libpcap, but not the −l flag to link with libpcap itself.
−−static
This option causes −−libs and −−additional−libs to produce linker flags appropriate for static linking with libpcap.
−−static−pcap−only
This option causes −−libs and −−additional−libs to produce linker flags appropriate for static linking with libpcap and dynamic linking with all other libraries, including libraries required by libpcap.
EXIT STATUS
pcap−config exits with a non-zero status when invoked with an invalid command−line option, and with status 0 otherwise.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
Before libpcap release 1.10.2 pcap−config did not treat invalid command−line options as an error. The −−static−pcap−only flag became available in libpcap release 1.10.2. The −−static flag became available in libpcap release 1.1.0.
