8 Provides a macro to check if a header file can be included in ``C``.
10 .. command:: CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE
14 CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE(<include> <variable> [<flags>])
16 Check if the given ``<include>`` file may be included in a ``C``
17 source file and store the result in an internal cache entry named
18 ``<variable>``. The optional third argument may be used to add
19 compilation flags to the check (or use ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS`` below).
21 The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
22 the way the check is run:
24 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``
25 string of compile command line flags.
26 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``
27 a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
28 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
29 a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header search paths to pass to
31 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS``
32 .. versionadded:: 3.14
33 a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of options to add to the link command.
34 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
35 a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of libraries to add to the link
36 command. See policy :policy:`CMP0075`.
37 ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
39 execute quietly without messages.
41 See the :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module to check for multiple headers
42 at once. See the :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module to check for headers
43 using the ``CXX`` language.
