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.
