Description




User Commands                                      PCAP-CONFIG(1)



NAME
     pcap-config  -  write  libpcap  compiler and linker flags to
     standard output

SYNOPSIS
     pcap-config [ --static ] [ --cflags | --libs | --additional-
     libs ]

DESCRIPTION
     When run with the --cflags option, pcap-config writes to the
     standard output the -I compiler flags  required  to  include
     libpcap's  header  files.   When run with the --libs option,
     pcap-config writes to the standard  output  the  -L  and  -l
     linker  flags  required  to  link with libpcap, including -l
     flags for libraries required by libpcap.  When run with  the
     --additional-libs option, pcap-config writes to the standard
     output the -L and -l flags for libraries required  by  libp-
     cap, but not the -lpcap flag to link with libpcap itself.

     By default, it writes flags appropriate for compiling with a
     dynamically-linked version of  libpcap;  the  --static  flag
     causes  it  to  write flags appropriate for compiling with a
     statically-linked version of libpcap.
