# CheckFunctionExists
# -------------------
#
# Check if a C function can be linked::
#
#   check_function_exists(<function> <variable>)
#
# Check that the ``<function>`` is provided by libraries on the system and store
# the result in a ``<variable>``. ``<variable>`` will be created as an internal
# cache variable.
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the
# way the check is run:
#
# ::
#
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
#
# .. note::
#
#   Prefer using :Module:`CheckSymbolExists` instead of this module,
#   for the following reasons:
#
#   * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect functions that are inlined
#     in headers or specified as a macro.
#
#   * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect anything in the 32-bit
#     versions of the Win32 API, because of a mismatch in calling conventions.
#
#   * ``check_function_exists()`` only verifies linking, it does not verify
#     that the function is declared in system headers.
