#!/usr/bin/perl =head1 NAME h2xs - convert .h C header files to Perl extensions =head1 SYNOPSIS B [B<-Acfh>] [B<-n> module_name] [headerfile [extra_libraries]] =head1 DESCRIPTION I builds a Perl extension from any C header file. The extension will include functions which can be used to retrieve the value of any #define statement which was in the C header. The I will be used for the name of the extension. If module_name is not supplied then the name of the header file will be used, with the first character capitalized. If the extension might need extra libraries, they should be included here. The extension Makefile.PL will take care of checking whether the libraries actually exist and how they should be loaded. The extra libraries should be specified in the form -lm -lposix, etc, just as on the cc command line. By default, the Makefile.PL will search through the library path determined by Configure. That path can be augmented by including arguments of the form B<-L/another/library/path> in the extra-libraries argument. =head1 OPTIONS =over 5 =item B<-n> I Specifies a name to be used for the extension, e.g., S<-n RPC::DCE> =item B<-f> Allows an extension to be created for a header even if that header is not found in /usr/include. =item B<-c> Omit C from the .xs file and corresponding specialised C from the .pm file. =item B<-A> Omit all autoload facilities. This is the same as B<-c> but also removes the S> statement from the .pm file. =back =head1 EXAMPLES # Default behavior, extension is Rusers h2xs rpcsvc/rusers # Same, but extension is RUSERS h2xs -n RUSERS rpcsvc/rusers # Extension is rpcsvc::rusers.
