2libpkgconf `client` module
3==========================
4
5The libpkgconf `client` module implements the `pkgconf_client_t` "client" object.
6Client objects store all necessary state for libpkgconf allowing for multiple instances to run
7in parallel.
8
9Client objects are not thread safe, in other words, a client object should not be shared across
10thread boundaries.
11
12.. c:function:: void pkgconf_client_dir_list_build(pkgconf_client_t *client)
13
14   Bootstraps the package search paths.  If the ``PKGCONF_PKG_PKGF_ENV_ONLY`` `flag` is set on the client,
15   then only the ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH`` environment variable will be used, otherwise both the
16   ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH`` and ``PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`` environment variables will be used.
