3This file is built by metaconfig.

5This file contains a description of all the shell variables whose value is
6determined by the Configure script.  Variables intended for use in C
7programs (e.g. I_UNISTD) are already described in config_h.SH.  [`configpm'
8generates pod documentation for Config.pm from this file--please try to keep
9the formatting regular.]
10
11_a (Unix.U):
12	This variable defines the extension used for ordinary library files.
13	For unix, it is '.a'.  The '.' is included.  Other possible
14	values include '.lib'.
15
16_exe (Unix.U):
17	This variable defines the extension used for executable files.
18	DJGPP, Cygwin and OS/2 use '.exe'.  Stratus VOS uses '.pm'.
19	On operating systems which do not require a specific extension
20	for executable files, this variable is empty.
21
22_o (Unix.U):
23	This variable defines the extension used for object files.
24	For unix, it is '.o'.  The '.' is included.  Other possible
25	values include '.obj'.
26
27afs (afs.U):
28	This variable is set to 'true' if AFS (Andrew File System) is used
29	on the system, 'false' otherwise.  It is possible to override this
30	with a hint value or command line option, but you'd better know
31	what you are doing.
32
33afsroot (afs.U):
34	This variable is by default set to '/afs'. In the unlikely case
35	this is not the correct root, it is possible to override this with
36	a hint value or command line option.  This will be used in subsequent
37	tests for AFSness in the configure and test process.
38
39alignbytes (alignbytes.U):
40	This variable holds the number of bytes required to align a
41	double-- or a long double when applicable. Usual values are
42	2, 4 and 8.  The default is eight, for safety.
43
44aphostname (d_gethname.U):
45	This variable contains the command which can be used to compute the
46	host name. The command is fully qualified by its absolute path, to make
47	it safe when used by a process with super-user privileges.
48
49api_revision (patchlevel.U):
50	The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
51	api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
52	compatible with the present perl.  In a full version string
53	such as '5.6.1', api_revision is the '5'.
54	Prior to 5.5.640, the format was a floating point number,
55	like 5.00563.
56
57	perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search in
58	$sitelib/.. for older directories back to the limit specified
59	by these api_ variables.  This is only useful if you have a
60	perl library directory tree structured like the default one.
61	See INSTALL for how this works.  The versioned site_perl
62	directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the lowest
63	possible value.  The version list appropriate for the current
64	system is determined in inc_version_list.U.
65
66	XXX To do:  Since compatibility can depend on compile time
67	options (such as bincompat, longlong, etc.) it should
68	(perhaps) be set by Configure, but currently it isn't.
69	Currently, we read a hard-wired value from patchlevel.h.
70	Perhaps what we ought to do is take the hard-wired value from
71	patchlevel.h but then modify it if the current Configure
72	options warrant.  patchlevel.h then would use an #ifdef guard.
73
74api_subversion (patchlevel.U):
75	The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
76	api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
77	compatible with the present perl.  In a full version string
78	such as '5.6.1', api_subversion is the '1'.  See api_revision for
79	full details.
80
81api_version (patchlevel.U):
82	The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
83	api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
84	compatible with the present perl.  In a full version string
85	such as '5.6.1', api_version is the '6'.  See api_revision for
86	full details.  As a special case, 5.5.0 is rendered in the
87	old-style as 5.005.  (In the 5.005_0x maintenance series,
88	this was the only versioned directory in $sitelib.)
89
90api_versionstring (patchlevel.U):
91	This variable combines api_revision, api_version, and
92	api_subversion in a format such as 5.6.1 (or 5_6_1) suitable
93	for use as a directory name.  This is filesystem dependent.
94
95ar (Loc.U):
96	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
97	full pathname (if any) of the ar program.  After Configure runs,
98	the value is reset to a plain "ar" and is not useful.
99
100archlib (archlib.U):
101	This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants
102	to put architecture-dependent public library files for $package.
103	It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/lib.
104	Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal
105	with filename expansion.
106
107archlibexp (archlib.U):
108	This variable is the same as the archlib variable, but is
109	filename expanded at configuration time, for convenient use.
110
111archname (archname.U):
112	This variable is a short name to characterize the current
113	architecture.  It is used mainly to construct the default archlib.
114
115archname64 (use64bits.U):
116	This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname.
117
118archobjs (Unix.U):
119	This variable defines any additional objects that must be linked
120	in with the program on this architecture.  On unix, it is usually
121	empty.  It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls
122	or other facilities.  For perl on OS/2, for example, this would
123	include os2/os2.obj.
124
125asctime_r_proto (d_asctime_r.U):
126	This variable encodes the prototype of asctime_r.
127	It is zero if d_asctime_r is undef, and one of the
128	REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_asctime_r
129	is defined.
130
131awk (Loc.U):
132	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
133	full pathname (if any) of the awk program.  After Configure runs,
134	the value is reset to a plain "awk" and is not useful.

137	The base revision level of this package, from the .package file.
138
139bash (Loc.U):
140	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
141	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
142
143bin (bin.U):
144	This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants
145	to put publicly executable images for the package in question.  It
146	is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/bin. Programs using
147	this variable must be prepared to deal with ~name substitution.
148
149bin_ELF (dlsrc.U):
150	This variable saves the result from configure if generated binaries
151	are in ELF format. Only set to defined when the test has actually
152	been performed, and the result was positive.
153
154binexp (bin.U):
155	This is the same as the bin variable, but is filename expanded at
156	configuration time, for use in your makefiles.
157
158bison (Loc.U):
159	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
160	full pathname (if any) of the bison program.  After Configure runs,

162
163byacc (Loc.U):
164	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
165	full pathname (if any) of the byacc program.  After Configure runs,
166	the value is reset to a plain "byacc" and is not useful.
167
168byteorder (byteorder.U):
169	This variable holds the byte order in a UV. In the following,
170	larger digits indicate more significance.  The variable byteorder
171	is either 4321 on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian,
172	or 87654321 on a Cray ... or 3412 with weird order !
173
174c (n.U):
175	This variable contains the \c string if that is what causes the echo
176	command to suppress newline.  Otherwise it is null.  Correct usage is
177	$echo $n "prompt for a question: $c".
178
179castflags (d_castneg.U):
180	This variable contains a flag that precise difficulties the
181	compiler has casting odd floating values to unsigned long:
182	0 = ok
183	1 = couldn't cast < 0
184	2 = couldn't cast >= 0x80000000
185	4 = couldn't cast in argument expression list
186
187cat (Loc.U):
188	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
189	full pathname (if any) of the cat program.  After Configure runs,
190	the value is reset to a plain "cat" and is not useful.
191
192cc (cc.U):
193	This variable holds the name of a command to execute a C compiler which
194	can resolve multiple global references that happen to have the same
195	name.  Usual values are 'cc' and 'gcc'.
196	Fervent ANSI compilers may be called 'c89'.  AIX has xlc.

199	This variable contains any special flags that might need to be
200	passed with 'cc -c' to compile modules to be used to create a shared
201	library that will be used for dynamic loading.  For hpux, this
202	should be +z.  It is up to the makefile to use it.
203
204ccdlflags (dlsrc.U):
205	This variable contains any special flags that might need to be
206	passed to cc to link with a shared library for dynamic loading.

208	be empty.
209
210ccflags (ccflags.U):
211	This variable contains any additional C compiler flags desired by
212	the user.  It is up to the Makefile to use this.

216	and added to ccflags by hints files.
217
218ccname (Checkcc.U):
219	This can set either by hints files or by Configure.  If using
220	gcc, this is gcc, and if not, usually equal to cc, unimpressive, no?
221	Some platforms, however, make good use of this by storing the
222	flavor of the C compiler being used here.  For example if using
223	the Sun WorkShop suite, ccname will be 'workshop'.
224
225ccsymbols (Cppsym.U):
226	The variable contains the symbols defined by the C compiler alone.
227	The symbols defined by cpp or by cc when it calls cpp are not in

229	The list is a space-separated list of symbol=value tokens.
230
231ccversion (Checkcc.U):
232	This can set either by hints files or by Configure.  If using
233	a (non-gcc) vendor cc, this variable may contain a version for
234	the compiler.
235
236cf_by (cf_who.U):

299
300contains (contains.U):
301	This variable holds the command to do a grep with a proper return
302	status.  On most sane systems it is simply "grep".  On insane systems

336	to cpprun and not cppstdin.
337
338cppminus (cppstdin.U):
339	This variable contains the second part of the string which will invoke
340	the C preprocessor on the standard input and produce to standard

342	a minus to specify standard input, otherwise the value is "".
343
344cpprun (cppstdin.U):
345	This variable contains the command which will invoke a C preprocessor
346	on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is guaranteed not
347	to be a wrapper and may be a null string if no preprocessor can be
348	made directly available. This preprocessor might be different from the
349	one used by the C compiler. Don't forget to append cpplast after the
350	preprocessor options.
351

1030	long doubles, the macro uses the first of the following
1031	functions that pass Configure's tests: qgcvt, sprintf (if
1032	Configure knows how to make sprintf format long doubles--see

3811	which perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
3812	search when adding directories to @INC.  The elements in
3813	the list are separated by spaces.  This is only useful
3814	if you have a perl library directory tree structured like the
3815	default one.  See INSTALL for how this works.  The versioned
3816	site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the
3817	lowest possible value.
3818
3819	This list includes architecture-dependent directories back to
3820	version $api_versionstring (e.g. 5.5.640) and
3821	architecture-independent directories all the way back to
3822	5.005.
3823
3824inc_version_list_init (inc_version_list.U):
3825	This variable holds the same list as inc_version_list, but
3826	each item is enclosed in double quotes and separated by commas,
3827	suitable for use in the PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST initialization.
3828
3829incpath (usrinc.U):
3830	This variable must precede the normal include path to get the
3831	right one, as in "$incpath/usr/include" or "$incpath/usr/lib".
3832	Value can be "" or "/bsd43" on mips.
3833
3834incpth (libpth.U):
3835	This variable must precede the normal include path to get the
3836	right one, as in "$incpath/usr/include" or "$incpath/usr/lib".
3837	Value can be "" or "/bsd43" on mips.
3838
3839inews (Loc.U):
3840	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
3841	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
3842
3843initialinstalllocation (bin.U):
3844	When userelocatableinc is true, this variable holds the location
3845	that make install should copy the perl binary to, with all the
3846	run-time relocatable paths calculated from this at install time.
3847	When used, it is initialized to the original value of binexp, and
3848	then binexp is set to '.../', as the other binaries are found
3849	relative to the perl binary.
3850
3851installarchlib (archlib.U):
3852	This variable is really the same as archlibexp but may differ on
3853	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3854	should be used in makefiles.
3855
3856installbin (bin.U):
3857	This variable is the same as binexp unless AFS is running in which case
3858	the user is explicitly prompted for it. This variable should always
3859	be used in your makefiles for maximum portability.
3860
3861installhtml1dir (html1dir.U):
3862	This variable is really the same as html1direxp, unless you are
3863	using a different installprefix.  For extra portability, you
3864	should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3865
3866installhtml3dir (html3dir.U):
3867	This variable is really the same as html3direxp, unless you are
3868	using a different installprefix.  For extra portability, you
3869	should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3870
3871installman1dir (man1dir.U):
3872	This variable is really the same as man1direxp, unless you are using
3873	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3874	man1direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3875	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3876
3877installman3dir (man3dir.U):
3878	This variable is really the same as man3direxp, unless you are using
3879	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3880	man3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3881	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3882
3883installprefix (installprefix.U):
3884	This variable holds the name of the directory below which
3885	"make install" will install the package.  For most users, this
3886	is the same as prefix.  However, it is useful for
3887	installing the software into a different (usually temporary)
3888	location after which it can be bundled up and moved somehow
3889	to the final location specified by prefix.
3890
3891installprefixexp (installprefix.U):
3892	This variable holds the full absolute path of installprefix
3893	with all ~-expansion done.
3894
3895installprivlib (privlib.U):
3896	This variable is really the same as privlibexp but may differ on
3897	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3898	should be used in makefiles.
3899
3900installscript (scriptdir.U):
3901	This variable is usually the same as scriptdirexp, unless you are on
3902	a system running AFS, in which case they may differ slightly. You
3903	should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability.
3904
3905installsitearch (sitearch.U):
3906	This variable is really the same as sitearchexp but may differ on
3907	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3908	should be used in makefiles.
3909
3910installsitebin (sitebin.U):
3911	This variable is usually the same as sitebinexp, unless you are on
3912	a system running AFS, in which case they may differ slightly. You
3913	should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability.
3914
3915installsitehtml1dir (sitehtml1dir.U):
3916	This variable is really the same as sitehtml1direxp, unless you are using
3917	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3918	html1direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3919	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3920
3921installsitehtml3dir (sitehtml3dir.U):
3922	This variable is really the same as sitehtml3direxp, unless you are using
3923	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3924	html3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3925	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3926
3927installsitelib (sitelib.U):
3928	This variable is really the same as sitelibexp but may differ on
3929	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3930	should be used in makefiles.
3931
3932installsiteman1dir (siteman1dir.U):
3933	This variable is really the same as siteman1direxp, unless you are using
3934	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3935	man1direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3936	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3937
3938installsiteman3dir (siteman3dir.U):
3939	This variable is really the same as siteman3direxp, unless you are using
3940	AFS in which case it points to the read/write location whereas
3941	man3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra
3942	portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles.
3943
3944installsitescript (sitescript.U):
3945	This variable is usually the same as sitescriptexp, unless you are on
3946	a system running AFS, in which case they may differ slightly. You
3947	should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability.
3948
3949installstyle (installstyle.U):
3950	This variable describes the "style" of the perl installation.
3951	This is intended to be useful for tools that need to
3952	manipulate entire perl distributions.  Perl itself doesn't use
3953	this to find its libraries -- the library directories are
3954	stored directly in Config.pm.  Currently, there are only two
3955	styles:  "lib" and "lib/perl5".  The default library locations
3956	(e.g. privlib, sitelib) are either $prefix/lib or
3957	$prefix/lib/perl5.  The former is useful if $prefix is a
3958	directory dedicated to perl (e.g. /opt/perl), while the latter
3959	is useful if $prefix is shared by many packages, e.g. if
3960	$prefix=/usr/local.
3961
3962	Unfortunately, while this "style" variable is used to set
3963	defaults for all three directory hierarchies (core, vendor, and
3964	site), there is no guarantee that the same style is actually
3965	appropriate for all those directories.  For example, $prefix
3966	might be /opt/perl, but $siteprefix might be /usr/local.
3967	(Perhaps, in retrospect, the "lib" style should never have been
3968	supported, but it did seem like a nice idea at the time.)
3969
3970	The situation is even less clear for tools such as MakeMaker
3971	that can be used to install additional modules into
3972	non-standard places.  For example, if a user intends to install
3973	a module into a private directory (perhaps by setting PREFIX on
3974	the Makefile.PL command line), then there is no reason to
3975	assume that the Configure-time $installstyle setting will be
3976	relevant for that PREFIX.
3977
3978	This may later be extended to include other information, so
3979	be careful with pattern-matching on the results.
3980
3981	For compatibility with perl5.005 and earlier, the default
3982	setting is based on whether or not $prefix contains the string
3983	"perl".
3984
3985installusrbinperl (instubperl.U):
3986	This variable tells whether Perl should be installed also as
3987	/usr/bin/perl in addition to
3988	$installbin/perl
3989
3990installvendorarch (vendorarch.U):
3991	This variable is really the same as vendorarchexp but may differ on
3992	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3993	should be used in makefiles.
3994
3995installvendorbin (vendorbin.U):
3996	This variable is really the same as vendorbinexp but may differ on
3997	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
3998	should be used in makefiles.
3999
4000installvendorhtml1dir (vendorhtml1dir.U):
4001	This variable is really the same as vendorhtml1direxp but may differ on
4002	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4003	should be used in makefiles.
4004
4005installvendorhtml3dir (vendorhtml3dir.U):
4006	This variable is really the same as vendorhtml3direxp but may differ on
4007	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4008	should be used in makefiles.
4009
4010installvendorlib (vendorlib.U):
4011	This variable is really the same as vendorlibexp but may differ on
4012	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4013	should be used in makefiles.
4014
4015installvendorman1dir (vendorman1dir.U):
4016	This variable is really the same as vendorman1direxp but may differ on
4017	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4018	should be used in makefiles.
4019
4020installvendorman3dir (vendorman3dir.U):
4021	This variable is really the same as vendorman3direxp but may differ on
4022	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4023	should be used in makefiles.
4024
4025installvendorscript (vendorscript.U):
4026	This variable is really the same as vendorscriptexp but may differ on
4027	those systems using AFS. For extra portability, only this variable
4028	should be used in makefiles.
4029
4030intsize (intsize.U):
4031	This variable contains the value of the INTSIZE symbol, which
4032	indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in an int.
4033
4034issymlink (issymlink.U):
4035	This variable holds the test command to test for a symbolic link
4036	(if they are supported).  Typical values include 'test -h' and
4037	'test -L'.
4038
4039ivdformat (perlxvf.U):
4040	This variable contains the format string used for printing
4041	a Perl IV as a signed decimal integer.
4042
4043ivsize (perlxv.U):
4044	This variable is the size of an IV in bytes.
4045
4046ivtype (perlxv.U):
4047	This variable contains the C type used for Perl's IV.
4048
4049known_extensions (Extensions.U):
4050	This variable holds a list of all extensions (both XS and non-xs)
4051	included in the package source distribution.  This information is
4052	only really of use during the Perl build, as the list makes no
4053	distinction between extensions which were build and installed, and
4054	those which where not.  See "extensions" for the list of extensions
4055	actually built and available.
4056
4057ksh (Loc.U):
4058	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4059	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4060
4061ld (dlsrc.U):
4062	This variable indicates the program to be used to link
4063	libraries for dynamic loading.  On some systems, it is 'ld'.
4064	On ELF systems, it should be $cc.  Mostly, we'll try to respect
4065	the hint file setting.
4066
4067ld_can_script (dlsrc.U):
4068	This variable shows if the loader accepts scripts in the form of
4069	-Wl,--version-script=ld.script. This is currently only supported
4070	for GNU ld on ELF in dynamic loading builds.
4071
4072lddlflags (dlsrc.U):
4073	This variable contains any special flags that might need to be
4074	passed to $ld to create a shared library suitable for dynamic
4075	loading.  It is up to the makefile to use it.  For hpux, it
4076	should be '-b'.  For sunos 4.1, it is empty.
4077
4078ldflags (ccflags.U):
4079	This variable contains any additional C loader flags desired by
4080	the user.  It is up to the Makefile to use this.
4081
4082ldflags_uselargefiles (uselfs.U):
4083	This variable contains the loader flags needed by large file builds
4084	and added to ldflags by hints files.
4085
4086ldlibpthname (libperl.U):
4087	This variable holds the name of the shared library
4088	search path, often LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  To get an empty
4089	string, the hints file must set this to 'none'.
4090
4091less (Loc.U):
4092	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4093	full pathname (if any) of the less program.  After Configure runs,
4094	the value is reset to a plain "less" and is not useful.
4095
4096lib_ext (Unix.U):
4097	This is an old synonym for _a.
4098
4099libc (libc.U):
4100	This variable contains the location of the C library.
4101
4102libperl (libperl.U):
4103	The perl executable is obtained by linking perlmain.c with
4104	libperl, any static extensions (usually just DynaLoader),
4105	and any other libraries needed on this system.  libperl
4106	is usually libperl.a, but can also be libperl.so.xxx if
4107	the user wishes to build a perl executable with a shared
4108	library.
4109
4110libpth (libpth.U):
4111	This variable holds the general path (space-separated) used to find
4112	libraries. It is intended to be used by other units.
4113
4114libs (libs.U):
4115	This variable holds the additional libraries we want to use.
4116	It is up to the Makefile to deal with it.  The list can be empty.
4117
4118libsdirs (libs.U):
4119	This variable holds the directory names aka dirnames of the libraries
4120	we found and accepted, duplicates are removed.
4121
4122libsfiles (libs.U):
4123	This variable holds the filenames aka basenames of the libraries
4124	we found and accepted.
4125
4126libsfound (libs.U):
4127	This variable holds the full pathnames of the libraries
4128	we found and accepted.
4129
4130libspath (libs.U):
4131	This variable holds the directory names probed for libraries.
4132
4133libswanted (Myinit.U):
4134	This variable holds a list of all the libraries we want to
4135	search.  The order is chosen to pick up the c library
4136	ahead of ucb or bsd libraries for SVR4.
4137
4138libswanted_uselargefiles (uselfs.U):
4139	This variable contains the libraries needed by large file builds
4140	and added to ldflags by hints files.  It is a space separated list
4141	of the library names without the "lib" prefix or any suffix, just
4142	like libswanted..
4143
4144line (Loc.U):
4145	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4146	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4147
4148lint (Loc.U):
4149	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4150	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4151
4152lkflags (ccflags.U):
4153	This variable contains any additional C partial linker flags desired by
4154	the user.  It is up to the Makefile to use this.
4155
4156ln (Loc.U):
4157	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4158	full pathname (if any) of the ln program.  After Configure runs,
4159	the value is reset to a plain "ln" and is not useful.
4160
4161lns (lns.U):
4162	This variable holds the name of the command to make
4163	symbolic links (if they are supported).  It can be used
4164	in the Makefile. It is either 'ln -s' or 'ln'
4165
4166localtime_r_proto (d_localtime_r.U):
4167	This variable encodes the prototype of localtime_r.
4168	It is zero if d_localtime_r is undef, and one of the
4169	REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_localtime_r
4170	is defined.
4171
4172locincpth (ccflags.U):
4173	This variable contains a list of additional directories to be
4174	searched by the compiler.  The appropriate '-I' directives will
4175	be added to ccflags.  This is intended to simplify setting
4176	local directories from the Configure command line.
4177	It's not much, but it parallels the loclibpth stuff in libpth.U.
4178
4179loclibpth (libpth.U):
4180	This variable holds the paths (space-separated) used to find local
4181	libraries.  It is prepended to libpth, and is intended to be easily
4182	set from the command line.
4183
4184longdblinfbytes (infnan.U):
4185	This variable contains comma-separated list of hexadecimal bytes
4186	for the long double precision infinity.
4187
4188longdblkind (d_longdbl.U):
4189	This variable, if defined, encodes the type of a long double:
4190	0 = double,
4191	1 = IEEE 754 128-bit little endian,
4192	2 = IEEE 754 128-bit big endian,
4193	3 = x86 80-bit little endian,
4194	4 = x86 80-bit big endian,
4195	5 = double-double 128-bit little endian,
4196	6 = double-double 128-bit big endian,
4197	7 = 128-bit mixed-endian double-double (64-bit LEs in BE),
4198	8 = 128-bit mixed-endian double-double (64-bit BEs in LE),
4199	9 = 128-bit PDP-style mixed-endian long doubles,
4200	-1 = unknown format.
4201
4202longdblmantbits (mantbits.U):
4203	This symbol, if defined, tells how many mantissa bits
4204	there are in long double precision floating point format.
4205	Note that this can be LDBL_MANT_DIG minus one,
4206	since LDBL_MANT_DIG can include the IEEE 754 implicit bit.
4207	The common x86-style 80-bit long double does not have
4208	an implicit bit.
4209
4210longdblnanbytes (infnan.U):
4211	This variable contains comma-separated list of hexadecimal bytes
4212	for the long double precision not-a-number.
4213
4214longdblsize (d_longdbl.U):
4215	This variable contains the value of the LONG_DOUBLESIZE symbol, which
4216	indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in a long double,
4217	if this system supports long doubles.  Note that this is
4218	sizeof(long double), which may include unused bytes.
4219
4220longlongsize (d_longlong.U):
4221	This variable contains the value of the LONGLONGSIZE symbol, which
4222	indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in a long long,
4223	if this system supports long long.
4224
4225longsize (intsize.U):
4226	This variable contains the value of the LONGSIZE symbol, which
4227	indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in a long.
4228
4229lp (Loc.U):
4230	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4231	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4232
4233lpr (Loc.U):
4234	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4235	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4236
4237ls (Loc.U):
4238	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4239	full pathname (if any) of the ls program.  After Configure runs,
4240	the value is reset to a plain "ls" and is not useful.
4241
4242lseeksize (lseektype.U):
4243	This variable defines lseektype to be something like off_t, long,
4244	or whatever type is used to declare lseek offset's type in the
4245	kernel (which also appears to be lseek's return type).
4246
4247lseektype (lseektype.U):
4248	This variable defines lseektype to be something like off_t, long,
4249	or whatever type is used to declare lseek offset's type in the
4250	kernel (which also appears to be lseek's return type).
4251
4252mail (Loc.U):
4253	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4254	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4255
4256mailx (Loc.U):
4257	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4258	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4259
4260make (Loc.U):
4261	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4262	full pathname (if any) of the make program.  After Configure runs,
4263	the value is reset to a plain "make" and is not useful.
4264
4265make_set_make (make.U):
4266	Some versions of 'make' set the variable MAKE.  Others do not.
4267	This variable contains the string to be included in Makefile.SH
4268	so that MAKE is set if needed, and not if not needed.
4269	Possible values are:
4270
4271	make_set_make='#'		# If your make program handles this for you,
4272
4273	make_set_make="MAKE=$make"	# if it doesn't.
4274
4275	This uses a comment character so that we can distinguish a
4276	'set' value (from a previous config.sh or Configure '-D' option)
4277	from an uncomputed value.
4278
4279mallocobj (mallocsrc.U):
4280	This variable contains the name of the malloc.o that this package
4281	generates, if that malloc.o is preferred over the system malloc.
4282	Otherwise the value is null.  This variable is intended for generating
4283	Makefiles.  See mallocsrc.
4284
4285mallocsrc (mallocsrc.U):
4286	This variable contains the name of the malloc.c that comes with
4287	the package, if that malloc.c is preferred over the system malloc.

4289	Makefiles.
4290
4291malloctype (mallocsrc.U):
4292	This variable contains the kind of ptr returned by malloc and realloc.
4293
4294man1dir (man1dir.U):
4295	This variable contains the name of the directory in which manual
4296	source pages are to be put.  It is the responsibility of the
4297	Makefile.SH to get the value of this into the proper command.
4298	You must be prepared to do the ~name expansion yourself.
4299
4300man1direxp (man1dir.U):
4301	This variable is the same as the man1dir variable, but is filename
4302	expanded at configuration time, for convenient use in makefiles.
4303
4304man1ext (man1dir.U):
4305	This variable contains the extension that the manual page should
4306	have: one of 'n', 'l', or '1'.  The Makefile must supply the '.'.

4308
4309man3dir (man3dir.U):
4310	This variable contains the name of the directory in which manual
4311	source pages are to be put.  It is the responsibility of the
4312	Makefile.SH to get the value of this into the proper command.
4313	You must be prepared to do the ~name expansion yourself.
4314
4315man3direxp (man3dir.U):
4316	This variable is the same as the man3dir variable, but is filename
4317	expanded at configuration time, for convenient use in makefiles.
4318
4319man3ext (man3dir.U):
4320	This variable contains the extension that the manual page should
4321	have: one of 'n', 'l', or '3'.  The Makefile must supply the '.'.

4327
4328mistrustnm (Csym.U):
4329	This variable can be used to establish a fallthrough for the cases
4330	where nm fails to find a symbol.  If usenm is false or usenm is true
4331	and mistrustnm is false, this variable has no effect.  If usenm is true
4332	and mistrustnm is "compile", a test program will be compiled to try to
4333	find any symbol that can't be located via nm lookup.  If mistrustnm is
4334	"run", the test program will be run as well as being compiled.
4335
4336mkdir (Loc.U):
4337	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4338	full pathname (if any) of the mkdir program.  After Configure runs,
4339	the value is reset to a plain "mkdir" and is not useful.
4340

4345
4346modetype (modetype.U):
4347	This variable defines modetype to be something like mode_t,
4348	int, unsigned short, or whatever type is used to declare file
4349	modes for system calls.
4350
4351more (Loc.U):
4352	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4353	full pathname (if any) of the more program.  After Configure runs,

4358	which signifies the presence of multiplatform files.
4359	This is normally set by hints files.
4360
4361mv (Loc.U):
4362	This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
4363	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
4364
4365myarchname (archname.U):
4366	This variable holds the architecture name computed by Configure in

4369
4370mydomain (myhostname.U):
4371	This variable contains the eventual value of the MYDOMAIN symbol,
4372	which is the domain of the host the program is going to run on.
4373	The domain must be appended to myhostname to form a complete host name.
4374	The dot comes with mydomain, and need not be supplied by the program.
4375
4376myhostname (myhostname.U):
4377	This variable contains the eventual value of the MYHOSTNAME symbol,
4378	which is the name of the host the program is going to run on.
4379	The domain is not kept with hostname, but must be gotten from mydomain.
4380	The dot comes with mydomain, and need not be supplied by the program.
4381
4382myuname (Oldconfig.U):
4383	The output of 'uname -a' if available, otherwise the hostname.
4384	The whole thing is then lower-cased and slashes and single quotes are
4385	removed.
4386
4387n (n.U):
4388	This variable contains the '-n' flag if that is what causes the echo
4389	command to suppress newline.  Otherwise it is null.  Correct usage is
4390	$echo $n "prompt for a question: $c".
4391
4392need_va_copy (need_va_copy.U):
4393	This symbol, if defined, indicates that the system stores
4394	the variable argument list datatype, va_list, in a format
4395	that cannot be copied by simple assignment, so that some
4396	other means must be used when copying is required.
4397	As such systems vary in their provision (or non-provision)
4398	of copying mechanisms, handy.h defines a platform-
4399	independent macro, Perl_va_copy(src, dst), to do the job.
4400
4401netdb_hlen_type (netdbtype.U):
4402	This variable holds the type used for the 2nd argument to
4403	gethostbyaddr().  Usually, this is int or size_t or unsigned.

4405
4406netdb_host_type (netdbtype.U):
4407	This variable holds the type used for the 1st argument to
4408	gethostbyaddr().  Usually, this is char * or void *,  possibly

4411
4412netdb_name_type (netdbtype.U):
4413	This variable holds the type used for the argument to
4414	gethostbyname().  Usually, this is char * or const char *.

4421
4422nm (Loc.U):
4423	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4424	full pathname (if any) of the nm program.  After Configure runs,
4425	the value is reset to a plain "nm" and is not useful.
4426
4427nm_opt (usenm.U):
4428	This variable holds the options that may be necessary for nm.
4429
4430nm_so_opt (usenm.U):
4431	This variable holds the options that may be necessary for nm
4432	to work on a shared library but that can not be used on an
4433	archive library.  Currently, this is only used by Linux, where
4434	nm --dynamic is *required* to get symbols from an ELF library which
4435	has been stripped, but nm --dynamic is *fatal* on an archive library.
4436	Maybe Linux should just always set usenm=false.
4437
4438nonxs_ext (Extensions.U):
4439	This variable holds a list of all non-xs extensions built and
4440	installed by the package.  By default, all non-xs extensions
4441	distributed will be built, with the exception of platform-specific
4442	extensions (currently only one VMS specific extension).
4443
4444nroff (Loc.U):
4445	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4446	full pathname (if any) of the nroff program.  After Configure runs,
4447	the value is reset to a plain "nroff" and is not useful.
4448
4449nv_overflows_integers_at (perlxv.U):
4450	This variable gives the largest integer value that NVs can hold

4495	to turn on non-blocking I/O for a file descriptor. If you wish to switch
4496	between blocking and non-blocking, you may try ioctl(FIOSNBIO) instead,
4497	but that is only supported by some devices.
4498
4499obj_ext (Unix.U):
4500	This is an old synonym for _o.
4501
4502old_pthread_create_joinable (d_pthrattrj.U):

4506	PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED and __UNDETACHED.
4507
4508optimize (ccflags.U):
4509	This variable contains any optimizer/debugger flag that should be used.
4510	It is up to the Makefile to use it.
4511
4512orderlib (orderlib.U):
4513	This variable is "true" if the components of libraries must be ordered
4514	(with `lorder $* | tsort`) before placing them in an archive.  Set to
4515	"false" if ranlib or ar can generate random libraries.
4516
4517osname (Oldconfig.U):
4518	This variable contains the operating system name (e.g. sunos,
4519	solaris, hpux, etc.).  It can be useful later on for setting
4520	defaults.  Any spaces are replaced with underscores.  It is set
4521	to a null string if we can't figure it out.
4522
4523osvers (Oldconfig.U):
4524	This variable contains the operating system version (e.g.
4525	4.1.3, 5.2, etc.).  It is primarily used for helping select
4526	an appropriate hints file, but might be useful elsewhere for
4527	setting defaults.  It is set to '' if we can't figure it out.
4528	We try to be flexible about how much of the version number
4529	to keep, e.g. if 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3 are essentially the
4530	same for this package, hints files might just be os_4.0 or
4531	os_4.1, etc., not keeping separate files for each little release.
4532
4533otherlibdirs (otherlibdirs.U):
4534	This variable contains a colon-separated set of paths for the perl
4535	binary to search for additional library files or modules.
4536	These directories will be tacked to the end of @INC.
4537	Perl will automatically search below each path for version-
4538	and architecture-specific directories.  See inc_version_list
4539	for more details.
4540	A value of ' ' means 'none' and is used to preserve this value
4541	for the next run through Configure.
4542
4543package (package.U):
4544	This variable contains the name of the package being constructed.
4545	It is primarily intended for the use of later Configure units.

4549	Usual values are (the full pathnames of) more, less, pg, or cat.
4550
4551passcat (nis.U):
4552	This variable contains a command that produces the text of the
4553	/etc/passwd file.  This is normally "cat /etc/passwd", but can be
4554	"ypcat passwd" when NIS is used.
4555	On some systems, such as os390, there may be no equivalent
4556	command, in which case this variable is unset.

4566	used to separate elements in the command shell search PATH.
4567
4568perl (Loc.U):
4569	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
4570	full pathname (if any) of the perl program.  After Configure runs,
4571	the value is reset to a plain "perl" and is not useful.
4572
4573perl5 (perl5.U):
4574	This variable contains the full path (if any) to a previously

4601	sourcing config.sh can tell if it has been sourced already.
4602
4603PERL_PATCHLEVEL (Oldsyms.U):
4604	This symbol reflects the patchlevel, if available. Will usually
4605	come from the .patch file, which is available when the perl
4606	source tree was fetched with rsync.
4607
4608perl_patchlevel (patchlevel.U):
4609	This is the Perl patch level, a numeric change identifier,
4610	as defined by whichever source code maintenance system
4611	is used to maintain the patches; currently Perforce.
4612	It does not correlate with the Perl version numbers or
4613	the maintenance versus development dichotomy except

4645	by extensions only will by dropped, if using dynamic loading).
4646
4647perlpath (perlpath.U):
4648	This variable contains the eventual value of the PERLPATH symbol,
4649	which contains the name of the perl interpreter to be used in
4650	shell scripts and in the "eval 'exec'" idiom.  This variable is
4651	not necessarily the pathname of the file containing the perl
4652	interpreter; you must append the executable extension (_exe) if
4653	it is not already present.  Note that Perl code that runs during
4654	the Perl build process cannot reference this variable, as Perl
4655	may not have been installed, or even if installed, may be a
4656	different version of Perl.
4657
4658pg (Loc.U):

4685
4686prefix (prefix.U):
4687	This variable holds the name of the directory below which the
4688	user will install the package.  Usually, this is /usr/local, and
4689	executables go in /usr/local/bin, library stuff in /usr/local/lib,
4690	man pages in /usr/local/man, etc.  It is only used to set defaults

4692
4693prefixexp (prefix.U):
4694	This variable holds the full absolute path of the directory below
4695	which the user will install the package.  Derived from prefix.
4696

4698	This variable contains the eventual value of the PRIVLIB symbol,
4699	which is the name of the private library for this package.  It may
4700	have a ~ on the front. It is up to the makefile to eventually create
4701	this directory while performing installation (with ~ substitution).
4702
4703privlibexp (privlib.U):
4704	This variable is the ~name expanded version of privlib, so that you
4705	may use it directly in Makefiles or shell scripts.
4706
4707procselfexe (d_procselfexe.U):
4708	If d_procselfexe is defined, $procselfexe is the filename

4727
4728randfunc (randfunc.U):
4729	Indicates the name of the random number function to use.
4730	Values include drand48, random, and rand. In C programs,
4731	the 'Drand01' macro is defined to generate uniformly distributed

4733
4734random_r_proto (d_random_r.U):
4735	This variable encodes the prototype of random_r.
4736	It is zero if d_random_r is undef, and one of the

4738	is defined.
4739
4740randseedtype (randfunc.U):
4741	Indicates the type of the argument of the seedfunc.
4742

4746	random libraries or if random libraries are not supported
4747
4748rd_nodata (nblock_io.U):
4749	This variable holds the return code from read() when no data is
4750	present. It should be -1, but some systems return 0 when O_NDELAY is
4751	used, which is a shame because you cannot make the difference between
4752	no data and an EOF.. Sigh!
4753

4913	If the user builds a shared libperl.so, then we need to tell the
4914	'perl' executable where it will be able to find the installed libperl.so.
4915	One way to do this on some systems is to set the environment variable
4916	LD_RUN_PATH to the directory that will be the final location of the
4917	shared libperl.so.  The makefile can use this with something like
4918	$shrpenv $(CC) -o perl perlmain.o $libperl $libs
4919	Typical values are
4920	shrpenv="env LD_RUN_PATH=$archlibexp/CORE"
4921	or
4922	shrpenv=''
4923	See the main perl Makefile.SH for actual working usage.
4924
4925	Alternatively, we might be able to use a command line option such
4926	as -R $archlibexp/CORE (Solaris) or -Wl,-rpath

5251	eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
5252	if $running_under_some_shell;
5253	to guarantee perl startup should the shell execute the script. Note
5254	that this magic incantation is not understood by csh.
5255
5256startsh (startsh.U):
5257	This variable contains the string to put on the front of a shell

5307	The value is the empty string and is not useful.
5308
5309subversion (patchlevel.U):
5310	The subversion level of this package.
5311	The value of subversion comes from the patchlevel.h file.
5312	In a version number such as 5.6.1, this is the "1".

5314	This is unique to perl.
5315
5316sysman (sysman.U):
5317	This variable holds the place where the manual is located on this
5318	system. It is not the place where the user wants to put his manual
5319	pages. Rather it is the place where Configure may look to find manual
5320	for unix commands (section 1 of the manual usually). See mansrc.

5346	If cross-compiling, this variable can be used to modify the
5347	environment on the target system.
5348	However, how and where it's used, and even if it's used at all, is
5349	entirely dependent on both the transport mechanism (targetrun) and
5350	what the target system is.  Unless the relevant documentation says
5351	otherwise, it is genereally not useful.
5352

5378
5379test (Loc.U):
5380	This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
5381	full pathname (if any) of the test program.  After Configure runs,
5382	the value is reset to a plain "test" and is not useful.
5383

5490	and indicates that 64-bit integer types should be used
5491	when available.  The maximal possible
5492	64-bitness is employed: LP64 or ILP64, meaning that you will
5493	be able to use more than 2 gigabytes of memory.  This mode is
5494	even more binary incompatible than USE_64_BIT_INT. You may not
5495	be able to run the resulting executable in a 32-bit CPU at all or
5496	you may need at least to reboot your OS to 64-bit mode.
5497
5498use64bitint (use64bits.U):
5499	This variable conditionally defines the USE_64_BIT_INT symbol,
5500	and indicates that 64-bit integer types should be used
5501	when available.  The minimal possible 64-bitness

5556	and indicates that explicit 64-bit interfaces and long doubles
5557	should be used when available.
5558
5559usemultiplicity (usemultiplicity.U):
5560	This variable conditionally defines the MULTIPLICITY symbol,
5561	and indicates that Perl should be built to use multiplicity.
5562
5563usemymalloc (mallocsrc.U):

5608	not even prompted for.
5609
5610userelocatableinc (bin.U):
5611	This variable is set to true to indicate that perl should relocate
5612	@INC entries at runtime based on the path to the perl binary.
5613	Any @INC paths starting ".../" are relocated relative to the directory
5614	containing the perl binary, and a logical cleanup of the path is then
5615	made around the join point (removing "dir/../" pairs)
5616
5617useshrplib (libperl.U):
5618	This variable is set to 'true' if the user wishes
5619	to build a shared libperl, and 'false' otherwise.
5620
