FindPCAP.cmake

# - Try to find libpcap include dirs and libraries
#
# Usage of this module as follows:
#
#     find_package(PCAP)
#
# Variables used by this module, they can change the default behaviour and need
# to be set before calling find_package:
#
#  PCAP_ROOT_DIR             Set this variable to the root installation of
#                            libpcap if the module has problems finding the
#                            proper installation path.
#
# Variables defined by this module:
#
#  PCAP_FOUND                System has libpcap, include and library dirs found
#  PCAP_INCLUDE_DIR          The libpcap include directories.
#  PCAP_LIBRARY              The libpcap library (possibly includes a thread
#                            library e.g. required by pf_ring's libpcap)
#  HAVE_PF_RING              If a found version of libpcap supports PF_RING
