Information about the package, perl-ExtUtils-H2PM, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The perl-ExtUtils-H2PM package is designed for, Automatically generate perl modules to wrap C header files.
Package Name:
perl-ExtUtils-H2PM
Summary:
Automatically generate perl modules to wrap C header files
Description:
This module assists in generating wrappers around system functionality, such as socket() types or ioctl() calls, where the only interesting features required are the values of some constants or layouts of structures normally only known to the C header files. Rather than writing an entire XS module just to contain some constants and pack/unpack functions, this module allows the author to generate, at module build time, a pure perl module containing constant declarations and structure utility functions. The module then requires no XS module to be loaded at run time.
