SYNOPSIS
[ --libs | --additional-libs ]
[ --static | --static-pcap-only ]
DESCRIPTION
pcap-config writes to the standard output various compiler and linker flags required to build a user program with libpcap. By default, it writes flags appropriate for building with a dynamically-linked version of libpcap; see below for static linking. Depending on the manner of libpcap installation, some options or their combinations may produce empty output - this is by design.
OPTIONS
--help
-
Produce a help message and exit.
--version
-
Produce libpcap version and exit. The version is the contents of
VERSION
file in libpcap source tree rather than the result of
pcap_lib_version(3PCAP).
--cflags
-
Produce the
-I
compiler flag required to include libpcap's header files. --libs
-
Produce the
-L
and-l
linker flags required to link with libpcap, including-l
flags for libraries required by libpcap. --additional-libs
-
Produce the
-L
and-l
linker flags for libraries required by libpcap, but not the-l
flag to link with libpcap itself. --static
-
This option causes
--libs
and--additional-libs
to produce linker flags appropriate for static linking with libpcap. --static-pcap-only
-
This option causes
--libs
and--additional-libs
to produce linker flags appropriate for static linking with libpcap and dynamic linking with all other libraries, including libraries required by libpcap.
EXIT STATUS
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
Before libpcap release 1.10.2
pcap-config
did not treat invalid command-line options as an error. The
--static-pcap-only
flag became available in libpcap release 1.10.2. The
--static
flag became available in libpcap release 1.1.0.
