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.
