➡ A Linux man page (short for manual page) is a form of software documentation found on Linux and Unix-like operating systems. This man-page explains the command pkgconf-personality and provides detailed information about the command pkgconf-personality, system calls, library functions, and other aspects of the system, including usage, options, and examples of _. You can access this man page by typing man followed by the pkgconf-personality.

pkgconf cross-compile personality files provide a useful mechanism for storing various information about system toolchains. Information stored by

files include information about paths used by a cross-compile toolchain, such as the sysroot directory and default include and library paths. pkgconf uses this information to determine what information is necessary to use libraries.

The

file follows a format inspired by RFC822. Comments are prefixed by a pound sign, hash sign or octothorpe (#), and variable assignment is similar to POSIX shell. Properties are defined using RFC822-style stanzas.

Properties are set using RFC822-style stanzas which consist of a keyword, followed by a colon (:) and then the value the property should be set to. Variable substitution is always performed regardless of property type.

There are three types of property:

The property will be set to the text of the value.

The property will be set to a list of fragments parsed from the text. The input text must be in a format that is suitable for passing to a POSIX shell without any shell expansions after variable substitution has been done. Elements are delimited with a colon.

The property will be set to true if the value is one of: true, yes or 1. Otherwise it will be set to false.

The triplet used by the cross-compile toolchain. (mandatory; literal)

The directory used by the system root of the cross-compile toolchain. (mandatory; literal)

A list of directories to look for

files in. (mandatory; fragment list)

A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for include files. (mandatory; fragment list)

A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for libraries. (mandatory; fragment list)

If true, pkgconf will default to preferring a pure dependency graph. (optional; boolean; default is false)

If true, pkgconf will default to operating in static linking mode. (optional; boolean; default is false)
