NAME

     pkgconf --- a system for configuring build dependency information

SYNOPSIS

     pkgconf [options] [list of modules]

DESCRIPTION

     pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags
     for development frameworks. This allows build systems to detect other
     dependencies and use them with the system toolchain.

GENERAL OPTIONS

     --version
         Display the supported pkg-config version and exit.

     --atleast-pkgconfig-version=VERSION
         Exit with error if we do not support the requested pkg-config
         version.

     --errors-to-stdout
         Print all errors on the main output stream instead of the error
         output stream.

     --silence-errors
         Do not display any errors at all.

     --list-all
         Walk all directories listed in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environmental
         variable and display information on packages which have
         registered information there.

     --simulate
         Simulates resolving a dependency graph based on the requested
         modules on the command line. Dumps a series of trees denoting
         pkgconf's resolver state.

     --no-cache
         Skip caching packages when they are loaded into the internal
         resolver.  This may result in an alternate dependency graph being
         computed.

     --ignore-conflicts
         Ignore 'Conflicts' rules in modules.

     --env-only
         Learn about pkgconf's configuration strictly from environmental
         variables.

     --maximum-traverse-depth=DEPTH
         Impose a limit on the allowed depth in the dependency graph.  For
         example, a depth of 2 will restrict the resolver from acting on
         child dependencies of modules added to the resolver's solution.

     --static
         Compute a deeper dependency graph and use compiler/linker flags
         intended for static linking.

MODULE-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

     --atleast-version=VERSION
         Exit with error if a module's version is less than the specified
         version.

     --exact-version=VERSION
         Exit with error if a module's version is not exactly the
         specified version.

     --max-version=VERSION
         Exit with error if a module's version is greater than the
         specified version.

     --exists
         Exit with a non-zero result if the dependency resolver was able
         to find all of the requested modules.

     --uninstalled
         Exit with a non-zero result if the dependency resolver uses an
         'uninstalled' module as part of it's solution.

     --no-uninstalled
         Forbids the dependency resolver from considering 'uninstalled'
         modules as part of a solution.

QUERY-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

     --cflags, --cflags-only-I, --cflags-only-other
         Display either all CFLAGS, only -I CFLAGS or only CFLAGS that are
         not -I.

     --libs, --libs-only-L, --libs-only-l, --libs-only-other
         Display either all linker flags, only -L linker flags, only -l
         linker flags or only linker flags that are not -L or -l.

     --keep-system-cflags, --keep-system-libs
         Keep CFLAGS or linker flag fragments that would be filtered due
         to being included by default in the compiler.

     --define-variable=VARNAME=VALUE
         Define VARNAME as VALUE.  Variables are used in query output, and
         some modules' results may change based on the presence of a
         variable definition.

     --print-variables
         Print all seen variables for a module to the output channel.

     --variable=VARNAME
         Print the value of VARNAME.

     --print-requires, --print-requires-private
         Print the modules included in either the Requires field or the
         Requires.private field.

     --digraph
         Dump the dependency resolver's solution as a graphviz 'dot' file.
         This can be used with graphviz to visualize module
         interdependencies.

ENVIRONMENT

     PKG_CONFIG_PATH
         List of directories where '.pc' files are looked up.

     PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR
         'sysroot' directory, will be prepended to every path defined in
         PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  Useful for cross compilation.

EXAMPLES

     Displaying the CFLAGS of a package:
       $ pkgconf --cflags foo
       -fPIC -I/usr/include/foo

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
