!!!!!!! DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE !!!!!!! This file is built by metaconfig. This file contains a description of all the shell variables whose value is determined by the Configure script. Variables intended for use in C programs (e.g. I_UNISTD) are already described in config_h.SH. [`configpm' generates pod documentation for Config.pm from this file--please try to keep the formatting regular.] _a (Unix.U): This variable defines the extension used for ordinary library files. For unix, it is '.a'. The '.' is included. Other possible values include '.lib'. _exe (Unix.U): This variable defines the extension used for executable files. DJGPP, Cygwin and OS/2 use '.exe'. Stratus VOS uses '.pm'. On operating systems which do not require a specific extension for executable files, this variable is empty. _o (Unix.U): This variable defines the extension used for object files. For unix, it is '.o'. The '.' is included. Other possible values include '.obj'. afs (afs.U): This variable is set to 'true' if AFS (Andrew File System) is used on the system, 'false' otherwise. It is possible to override this with a hint value or command line option, but you'd better know what you are doing. afsroot (afs.U): This variable is by default set to '/afs'. In the unlikely case this is not the correct root, it is possible to override this with a hint value or command line option. This will be used in subsequent tests for AFSness in the Perl configure and test process. alignbytes (alignbytes.U): This variable holds the number of bytes required to align a double-- or a long double when applicable. Usual values are 2, 4 and 8. The default is eight, for safety. ansi2knr (ansi2knr.U): This variable is set if the user needs to run ansi2knr. Currently, this is not supported, so we just abort. aphostname (d_gethname.U): This variable contains the command which can be used to compute the host name. The command is fully qualified by its absolute path, to make it safe when used by a process with super-user privileges. api_revision (patchlevel.U): The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as '5.6.1', api_revision is the '5'. Prior to 5.5.640, the format was a floating point number, like 5.00563. perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search in $sitelib/.. for older directories back to the limit specified by these api_ variables. This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree structured like the default one. See INSTALL for how this works. The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the lowest possible value. The version list appropriate for the current system is determined in inc_version_list.U. XXX To do: Since compatibility can depend on compile time options (such as bincompat, longlong, etc.) it should (perhaps) be set by Configure, but currently it isn't. Currently, we read a hard-wired value from patchlevel.h. Perhaps what we ought to do is take the hard-wired value from patchlevel.h but then modify it if the current Configure options warrant. patchlevel.h then would use an #ifdef guard. api_subversion (patchlevel.U): The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as '5.6.1', api_subversion is the '1'. See api_revision for full details. api_version (patchlevel.U): The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as '5.6.1', api_version is the '6'. See api_revision for full details. As a special case, 5.5.0 is rendered in the old-style as 5.005. (In the 5.005_0x maintenance series, this was the only versioned directory in $sitelib.) api_versionstring (patchlevel.U): This variable combines api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion in a format such as 5.6.1 (or 5_6_1) suitable for use as a directory name. This is filesystem dependent. ar (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the ar program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "ar" and is not useful. archlib (archlib.U): This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants to put architecture-dependent public library files for $package. It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/lib. Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal with filename expansion. archlibexp (archlib.U): This variable is the same as the archlib variable, but is filename expanded at configuration time, for convenient use. archname64 (use64bits.U): This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname. archname (archname.U): This variable is a short name to characterize the current architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default archlib. archobjs (Unix.U): This variable defines any additional objects that must be linked in with the program on this architecture. On unix, it is usually empty. It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls or other facilities. For perl on OS/2, for example, this would include os2/os2.obj. asctime_r_proto (d_asctime_r.U): This variable encodes the prototype of asctime_r. It is zero if d_asctime_r is undef, and one of the REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_asctime_r is defined. awk (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the awk program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "awk" and is not useful. baserev (baserev.U): The base revision level of this package, from the .package file. bash (Loc.U): This variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful. bin (bin.U): This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants to put publicly executable images for the package in question. It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/bin. Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal with ~name substitution. binexp (bin.U): This is the same as the bin variable, but is filename expanded at configuration time, for use in your makefiles. bison (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the bison program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "bison" and is not useful. byacc (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the byacc program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "byacc" and is not useful. byteorder (byteorder.U): This variable holds the byte order in a UV. In the following, larger digits indicate more significance.

Otherwise it is null. Correct usage is $echo $n "prompt for a question: $c". castflags (d_castneg.U): This variable contains a flag that precise difficulties the compiler has casting odd floating values to unsigned long: 0 = ok 1 = couldn't cast < 0 2 = couldn't cast >= 0x80000000 4 = couldn't cast in argument expression list cat (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the cat program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "cat" and is not useful. cc (cc.U): This variable holds the name of a command to execute a C compiler which can resolve multiple global references that happen to have the same name. Usual values are 'cc' and 'gcc'. Fervent ANSI compilers may be called 'c89'. AIX has xlc. cccdlflags (dlsrc.U): This variable contains any special flags that might need to be passed with 'cc -c' to compile modules to be used to create a shared library that will be used for dynamic loading. For hpux, this should be +z. It is up to the makefile to use it. ccdlflags (dlsrc.U): This variable contains any special flags that might need to be passed to cc to link with a shared library for dynamic loading. It is up to the makefile to use it. For sunos 4.1, it should be empty. ccflags (ccflags.U): This variable contains any additional C compiler flags desired by the user. It is up to the Makefile to use this. ccflags_uselargefiles (uselfs.U): This variable contains the compiler flags needed by large file builds and added to ccflags by hints files. ccname (Checkcc.U): This can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using gcc, this is gcc, and if not, usually equal to cc, unimpressive, no? Some platforms, however, make good use of this by storing the flavor of the C compiler being used here. For example if using the Sun WorkShop suite, ccname will be 'workshop'. ccsymbols (Cppsym.U): The variable contains the symbols defined by the C compiler alone. The symbols defined by cpp or by cc when it calls cpp are not in this list, see cppsymbols and cppccsymbols. The list is a space-separated list of symbol=value tokens. ccversion (Checkcc.U): This can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using a (non-gcc) vendor cc, this variable may contain a version for the compiler. cf_by (cf_who.U): Login name of the person who ran the Configure script and answered the questions. This is used to tag both config.sh and config_h.SH. cf_email (cf_email.U): Electronic mail address of the person who ran Configure. This can be used by units that require the user's e-mail, like MailList.U. cf_time (cf_who.U): Holds the output of the "date" command when the configuration file was produced.

It can be long, or clock_t on BSD sites (in which case should be included). comm (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the comm program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "comm" and is not useful. compress (Loc.U): This variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful. contains (contains.U): This variable holds the command to do a grep with a proper return status. On most sane systems it is simply "grep". On insane systems it is a grep followed by a cat followed by a test. This variable is primarily for the use of other Configure units. cp (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the cp program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "cp" and is not useful. cpio (Loc.U): This variable is defined but not used by Configure.

It is up to the Makefile to use it. cpplast (cppstdin.U): This variable has the same functionality as cppminus, only it applies to cpprun and not cppstdin. cppminus (cppstdin.U): This variable contains the second part of the string which will invoke the C preprocessor on the standard input and produce to standard output. This variable will have the value "-" if cppstdin needs a minus to specify standard input, otherwise the value is "". cpprun (cppstdin.U): This variable contains the command which will invoke a C preprocessor on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is guaranteed not to be a wrapper and may be a null string if no preprocessor can be made directly available. This preprocessor might be different from the one used by the C compiler. Don't forget to append cpplast after the preprocessor options. cppstdin (cppstdin.U): This variable contains the command which will invoke the C preprocessor on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is primarily used by other Configure units that ask about preprocessor symbols. cppsymbols (Cppsym.U): The variable contains the symbols defined by the C preprocessor alone.

By default, Configure sets this macro to use the first of gconvert, gcvt, or sprintf that pass sprintf-%g-like behaviour tests. If perl is using long doubles, the macro uses the first of the following functions that pass Configure's tests: qgcvt, sprintf (if Configure knows how to make sprintf format long doubles--see sPRIgldbl), gconvert, gcvt, and sprintf (casting to double). The gconvert_preference and gconvert_ld_preference variables can be used to alter Configure's preferences, for doubles and long doubles, respectively. If present, they contain a space-separated list of one or more of the above function names in the order they should be tried. d_Gconvert may be set to override Configure with a platform- specific function. If this function expects a double, a different value may need to be set by the uselongdouble.cbu call-back unit so that long doubles can be formatted without loss of precision. d_getcwd (d_getcwd.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETCWD symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getcwd() routine is available to get the current working directory. d_getespwnam (d_getespwnam.U): This variable conditionally defines HAS_GETESPWNAM if getespwnam() is available to retrieve enchanced (shadow) password entries by name. d_getfsstat (d_getfsstat.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETFSSTAT symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getfsstat() routine is available. d_getgrent (d_getgrent.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETGRENT symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getgrent() routine is available for sequential access of the group database. d_getgrent_r (d_getgrent_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETGRENT_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getgrent_r() routine is available. d_getgrgid_r (d_getgrgid_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETGRGID_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getgrgid_r() routine is available. d_getgrnam_r (d_getgrnam_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETGRNAM_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getgrnam_r() routine is available. d_getgrps (d_getgrps.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETGROUPS symbol, which indicates to the C program that the getgroups() routine is available to get the list of process groups. d_gethbyaddr (d_gethbyad.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTBYADDR symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostbyaddr() routine is available to look up hosts by their IP addresses. d_gethbyname (d_gethbynm.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTBYNAME symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostbyname() routine is available to look up host names in some data base or other. d_gethent (d_gethent.U): This variable conditionally defines HAS_GETHOSTENT if gethostent() is available to look up host names in some data base or another. d_gethname (d_gethname.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTNAME symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostname() routine may be used to derive the host name. d_gethostbyaddr_r (d_gethostbyaddr_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTBYADDR_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostbyaddr_r() routine is available. d_gethostbyname_r (d_gethostbyname_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTBYNAME_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostbyname_r() routine is available. d_gethostent_r (d_gethostent_r.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOSTENT_R symbol, which indicates to the C program that the gethostent_r() routine is available. d_gethostprotos (d_gethostprotos.U): This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETHOST_PROTOS symbol, which indicates to the C program that supplies prototypes for the various gethost*() functions.

For extra portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles. installprefix (installprefix.U): This variable holds the name of the directory below which "make install" will install the package. For most users, this is the same as prefix. However, it is useful for installing the software into a different (usually temporary) location after which it can be bundled up and moved somehow to the final location specified by prefix. installprefixexp (installprefix.U): This variable holds the full absolute path of installprefix with all ~-expansion done. installprivlib (privlib.U): This variable is really the same as privlibexp but may differ on those systems using AFS.

For extra portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles. installsitehtml3dir (sitehtml3dir.U): This variable is really the same as sitehtml3direxp, unless you are using AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas html3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles. installsitelib (sitelib.U): This variable is really the same as sitelibexp but may differ on those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable should be used in makefiles. installsiteman1dir (siteman1dir.U): This variable is really the same as siteman1direxp, unless you are using AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas man1direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles. installsiteman3dir (siteman3dir.U): This variable is really the same as siteman3direxp, unless you are using AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas man3direxp only points to the read-only access location.

You should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability. installstyle (installstyle.U): This variable describes the "style" of the perl installation. This is intended to be useful for tools that need to manipulate entire perl distributions. Perl itself doesn't use this to find its libraries -- the library directories are stored directly in Config.pm. Currently, there are only two styles: "lib" and "lib/perl5". The default library locations (e.g. privlib, sitelib) are either $prefix/lib or $prefix/lib/perl5. The former is useful if $prefix is a directory dedicated to perl (e.g. /opt/perl), while the latter is useful if $prefix is shared by many packages, e.g. if $prefix=/usr/local. Unfortunately, while this "style" variable is used to set defaults for all three directory hierarchies (core, vendor, and site), there is no guarantee that the same style is actually appropriate for all those directories. For example, $prefix might be /opt/perl, but $siteprefix might be /usr/local. (Perhaps, in retrospect, the "lib" style should never have been supported, but it did seem like a nice idea at the time.) The situation is even less clear for tools such as MakeMaker that can be used to install additional modules into non-standard places. For example, if a user intends to install a module into a private directory (perhaps by setting PREFIX on the Makefile.PL command line), then there is no reason to assume that the Configure-time $installstyle setting will be relevant for that PREFIX. This may later be extended to include other information, so be careful with pattern-matching on the results. For compatibility with perl5.005 and earlier, the default setting is based on whether or not $prefix contains the string "perl". installusrbinperl (instubperl.U): This variable tells whether Perl should be installed also as /usr/bin/perl in addition to $installbin/perl installvendorarch (vendorarch.U): This variable is really the same as vendorarchexp but may differ on those systems using AFS.

For extra portability, only this variable should be used in makefiles. installvendorscript (vendorscript.U): This variable is really the same as vendorscriptexp but may differ on those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable should be used in makefiles. intsize (intsize.U): This variable contains the value of the INTSIZE symbol, which indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in an int. issymlink (issymlink.U): This variable holds the test command to test for a symbolic link (if they are supported). Typical values include 'test -h' and 'test -L'. ivdformat (perlxvf.U): This variable contains the format string used for printing a Perl IV as a signed decimal integer. ivsize (perlxv.U): This variable is the size of an IV in bytes. ivtype (perlxv.U): This variable contains the C type used for Perl's IV. known_extensions (Extensions.U): This variable holds a list of all XS extensions included in the package. ksh (Loc.U): This variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful. ld (dlsrc.U): This variable indicates the program to be used to link libraries for dynamic loading. On some systems, it is 'ld'. On ELF systems, it should be $cc. Mostly, we'll try to respect the hint file setting. lddlflags (dlsrc.U): This variable contains any special flags that might need to be passed to $ld to create a shared library suitable for dynamic loading. It is up to the makefile to use it. For hpux, it should be '-b'. For sunos 4.1, it is empty. ldflags (ccflags.U): This variable contains any additional C loader flags desired by the user. It is up to the Makefile to use this. ldflags_uselargefiles (uselfs.U): This variable contains the loader flags needed by large file builds and added to ldflags by hints files. ldlibpthname (libperl.U): This variable holds the name of the shared library search path, often LD_LIBRARY_PATH. To get an empty string, the hints file must set this to 'none'. less (Loc.U): This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the less program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain "less" and is not useful. lib_ext (Unix.U): This is an old synonym for _a. libc (libc.U): This variable contains the location of the C library. libperl (libperl.U): The perl executable is obtained by linking perlmain.c with libperl, any static extensions (usually just DynaLoader), and any other libraries needed on this system. libperl is usually libperl.a, but can also be libperl.so.xxx if the user wishes to build a perl executable with a shared library. libpth (libpth.U): This variable holds the general path (space-separated) used to find libraries. It is intended to be used by other units. libs (libs.U): This variable holds the additional libraries we want to use. It is up to the Makefile to deal with it. The list can be empty. libsdirs (libs.U): This variable holds the directory names aka dirnames of the libraries we found and accepted, duplicates are removed. libsfiles (libs.U): This variable holds the filenames aka basenames of the libraries we found and accepted. libsfound (libs.U): This variable holds the full pathnames of the libraries we found and accepted. libspath (libs.U): This varia
