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.
