libpkgconf `pkg` module
=======================
The `pkg` module provides dependency resolution services and the overall `.pc` file parsing
routines.
.. c:function:: void pkgconf_pkg_dir_list_build(pkgconf_client_t *client, unsigned int flags)
Bootstraps the package search paths. If the ``PKGCONF_PKG_PKGF_ENV_ONLY`` `flag` is provided,
then only the ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH`` environment variable will be used, otherwise both the
``PKG_CONFIG_PATH`` and ``PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`` environment variables will be used.

:param uint flags: A set of dependency resolver options.
:return: nothing

then stop iteration and return the last iterated package.
