.Sh NAME

.Nm file.pc
|
||||
.Nd pkg-config file format
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
pkg-config files provide a useful mechanism for storing various information
|
||||
about libraries and packages on a given system. Information stored by
|
||||
.Nm .pc
|
||||
files include compiler and linker flags necessary to use a given library, as
|
||||
well as any other relevant metadata.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
These
|
||||
.Nm .pc
|
||||
files are processed by a utility called
|
||||
.Nm pkg-config ,
|
||||
of which
|
||||
.Nm pkgconf
|
||||
is an implementation.
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.Ss FILE SYNTAX
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm .pc
|
||||
file follows a format inspired by RFC822. Comments are prefixed by an octothorpe
|
||||
(#), and variable assignment is similar to POSIX shell. Properties are defined
|
||||
using RFC822-style stanzas.
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.Ss VARIABLES
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
Variable definitions start with an alphanumeric string, followed by an equal sign,
|
||||
and then the value the variable should contain.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Variable references are always written as "${variable}". It is possible to escape
|
||||
literal "${" as "$${".
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.Ss PROPERTIES
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
Properties are set using RFC822-style stanzas which consist of a keyword, followed
|
||||
by a colon (:) and then the value the property should be set to. Variable
|
||||
substitution is always performed regardless of property type.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There are three types of property:
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.Bl -tag
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.It Literal
|
||||
the property will be set to the text of the value.
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.It Dependency List
|
||||
The property will be set to a list of dependencies parsed from the
|
||||
text.
|
||||
Dependency lists are defined by this ABNF syntax:
|
||||
.Bd -literal
|
||||
package-list = *WSP *( package-spec *( package-sep ) )
|
||||
package-sep = WSP / ","
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
package-spec = package-key [ ver-op package-version ]
|
||||
ver-op = "<" / "<=" / "=" / "!=" / ">=" / ">"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.It Fragment List
|
||||
The property will be set to a list of fragments parsed from the text.
|
||||
The input text must be in a format that is suitable for passing to a POSIX
|
||||
shell without any shell expansions after variable substitution has been done.

||||

.El

.Ss PROPERTY KEYWORDS
|
||||
.Bl -tag
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.It Name
|
||||
The displayed name of the package. (mandatory; literal)
|
||||
.It Version
|
||||
The version of the package. (mandatory; literal)
|
||||
.It Description
|
||||
A description of the package. (mandatory; literal)
|
||||
.It URL
|
||||
A URL to a webpage for the package. This is used to recommend where newer
|
||||
versions of the package can be acquired. (mandatory; literal)
|
||||
.It Cflags
|
||||
Required compiler flags. These flags are always used, regardless of whether
|
||||
static compilation is requested. (optional; fragment list)
|
||||
.It Cflags.private
|
||||
Required compiler flags for static compilation.
|
||||
(optional; fragment list; pkgconf extension)
|
||||
.It Libs
|
||||
Required linking flags for this package.
|
||||
Libraries this package depends on for linking against it, which are not
|
||||
described as dependencies should be specified here. (optional; fragment list)
|
||||
.It Libs.private
|
||||
Required linking flags for this package that are only required when linking
|
||||
statically.
|
||||
Libraries this package depends on for linking against it statically, which are
|
||||
not described as dependencies should be specified here. (optional; fragment list)
|
||||
.It Requires
|
||||
Required dependencies that must be met for the package to be usable.
|
||||
All dependencies must be satisfied or the pkg-config implementation must not use
|
||||
the package. (optional; dependency list)
|
||||
.It Requires.private
|
||||
Required dependencies that must be met for the package to be usable for static linking.
|
||||
All dependencies must be satisfied or the pkg-config implementation must not use
|
||||
the package for static linking. (optional; dependency list)
|
||||
.It Conflicts
|
||||
Dependencies that must not be met for the package to be usable. If any package in the
|
||||
proposed dependency solution match any dependency in the Conflicts list, the package
|
||||
being considered is not usable. (optional; dependency list)
|
||||
.It Provides
|
||||
Dependencies that may be provided by an alternate package. If a package cannot be
|
||||
found, the entire package collection is scanned for providers which can match the
|
||||
requested dependency. (optional; dependency list; pkgconf extension)
