PCAP-CONFIG(1)           General Commands Manual           PCAP-CONFIG(1)

NAME         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
