SYNOPSIS
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 libpcap, 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.
