Crate pcap_config

A build dependency for Cargo projects to find the location and compiler flags for linking against libpcap using the pcap-config utility.

This library uses the pcap-config utility, which is installed with libpcap, to find the location and compiler flags required by cargo for linking to libpcap. A Config structure provides a way to customize the options set for running pcap-config.

If pcap-config runs successfully, the Cargo metadata is printed to stdout.

Examples

Using pcap-config with the default options:

extern crate pcap_config;

fn main() {
    pcap_config::find_library().unwrap();
}

Customizing how pcap-config reports the metadata:

extern crate pcap_config;

fn main() {
    pcap_config::Config::new().statik(true).find().unwrap();
}
