<div class='docblock'><p>A build dependency for Cargo libraries to find system artifacts through the
<code>pkg-config</code> utility.</p>

<p>This library will shell out to <code>pkg-config</code> as part of build scripts and
probe the system to determine how to link to a specified library. The
<code>Config</code> structure serves as a method of configuring how <code>pkg-config</code> is
invoked in a builder style.</p>

<p>A number of environment variables are available to globally configure how
this crate will invoke <code>pkg-config</code>:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS</code> - if this variable is not set, then <code>pkg-config</code>
will automatically be disabled for all cross compiles.</li>
<li><code>FOO_NO_PKG_CONFIG</code> - if set, this will disable running <code>pkg-config</code> when
probing for the library named <code>foo</code>.</li>
</ul>

<p>There are also a number of environment variables which can configure how a
library is linked to (dynamically vs statically). These variables control
whether the <code>--static</code> flag is passed. Note that this behavior can be
overridden by configuring explicitly on <code>Config</code>. The variables are checked
in the following order:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>FOO_STATIC</code> - pass <code>--static</code> for the library <code>foo</code></li>
<li><code>FOO_DYNAMIC</code> - do not pass <code>--static</code> for the library <code>foo</code></li>
<li><code>PKG_CONFIG_ALL_STATIC</code> - pass <code>--static</code> for all libraries</li>
<li><code>PKG_CONFIG_ALL_DYNAMIC</code> - do not pass <code>--static</code> for all libraries</li>
</ul>

<p>After running <code>pkg-config</code> all appropriate Cargo metadata will be printed on
stdout if the search was successful.</p>
