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