General Usage
curl is a command line tool for transferring data to or from a server supporting a variety of protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and SMB.
This module will add the curl command to your path.
In case you need to link against this library in your code, the following environmental variables have been defined:
- $CURL_ROOT has been set to the root of the curl installation
- $CURL_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
- $CURL_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files
You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -I$CURL_INCDIR
and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -L$CURL_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$CURL_LIBDIR
