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.
