NAME

       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.
