PCAP-CONFIG(1)PCAP-CONFIG(1)NAME
pcap-config - write libpcap compiler and linker flags to standard out‐
put
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 libp‐
cap, 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 dynami‐
cally-linked version of libpcap; the --static flag causes it to write
flags appropriate for compiling with a statically-linked version of
libpcap.
