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.
