!!!!!!! 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 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.
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.
archname (archname.U):
This variable is a short name to characterize the current
architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default archlib.
archname64 (use64bits.U):
This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname.
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 the empty string 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.
bin_ELF (dlsrc.U):
This variable saves the result from configure if generated binaries
are in ELF format. Only set to defined when the test has actually
been performed, and the result was positive.
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. The variable byteorder
is either 4321 on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian,
or 87654321 on a Cray ... or 3412 with weird order !
c (n.U):
This variable contains the \c string if that is what causes the echo
command to suppress newline. 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
