+# pkg-config-rs
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alexcrichton/pkg-config-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alexcrichton/pkg-config-rs)
+
+[Documentation](http://alexcrichton.com/pkg-config-rs)
+
+A simple library meant to be used as a build dependency with Cargo packages in
+order to use the system `pkg-config` tool (if available) to determine where a
+library is located.
+
+You can use this crate directly to probe for specific libraries, or use
+[metadeps](https://github.com/joshtriplett/metadeps) to declare all your
+`pkg-config` dependencies in `Cargo.toml`.
+
+# Example
+
+Find the system library named `foo`, with minimum version 1.2.3:
+
+```rust
+extern crate pkg_config;
+
+fn main() {
+ pkg_config::Config::new().atleast_version("1.2.3").probe("foo").unwrap();
+}
+```
+
+Find the system library named `foo`, with no version requirement (not
+recommended):
+
+```rust
+extern crate pkg_config;
+
+fn main() {
+ pkg_config::probe_library("foo").unwrap();
+}
+```
