SYNOPSIS

9        use Alien::pkgconf;
10
11        my $cflags = Alien::pkgconf->cflags;
12        my $libs   = Alien::pkgconf->libs;

DESCRIPTION

15       This module provides you with the information that you need to invoke
16       "pkgconf" or link against "libpkgconf".  It isn't intended to be used
17       directly, but rather to provide the necessary package by a CPAN module
18       that needs "libpkgconf", such as PkgConfig::LibPkgConf.
19
