PMKPC(1)
NAME
pmkpc -- Packages metainformation management tool.
SYNOPSIS
pmkpc [options] [modules]
DESCRIPTION
pmkpc is a tool that gathers metainformation about installed libraries
that provide pkg-config data files. It aims to be an alternative to the
pkg-config tool.
OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
- --version
- Display compatibility version relative to pkgconfig.
- --atleast-pkgconfig-version
- Check if compatibility version is at least equal or greater than the version provided as an argument.
- --modversion
- Display the version of the given library modules using one line
for each version. - --atleast-version
- Check if each module version is at least equal or greater than
the version provided as an argument. - --exact-version
- Check if each module version is equal to the version provided as an argument.
- --max-version
- Check if each module version is at least equal or smaller than
the version provided as an argument. - --exists
- Check if given library modules exists.
- --cflags
- Display pre-processor and compiler flags for given library modules. Duplicates values are automatically removed.
- --cflags-only-I
- Enable output filtering of compiler flags and keep include path. See output filtering section.
- --cflags-only-other
- Enable output filtering of compiler flags and keep other flags
than include path. See output filtering section. - --libs Display linker flags for given library modules. Duplicate values
- are automatically removed.
- --libs_only_l
- Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep library linking flags. See output filtering section.
- --libs_only_L
- Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep library path
flags. See output filtering section. - --libs_only_other
- Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep other flags than library linking and path flags. See output filtering section.
- --help Only for compatibility with pkg-config. Refers to this man page.
- --usage
- Display usage.
- --list-all
- Display all module names and descriptions.
- The following options have not been implemented yet:
--uninstalled
--debug
--variable
--define-variable
--print-errors
--silence-errors
--errors-to-stdout
OUTPUT FILTERING
As pkg-config has no standard specifications we determinated its behavior
from pkg-config man page. The result is that filtering options can be
accumulated. The default behavior is like if all filtering options were
enabled.

HISTORY
Initialy pmk was using pkg-config in a sub shell. Further, internal support was developed to improve the speed of data gathering. While studying the code of pkg-config we discovered some chunks of code that were
unsafe (malloc return unchecked, use of strcpy without any check, ...).
Knowing that, we decided to try to do a safer implementation and pmkpc
was born.
