CheckSymbolExists
-----------------

Provides a macro to check if a symbol exists as a function, variable,
or macro in ``C``.

.. command:: check_symbol_exists

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)

  Check that the ``<symbol>`` is available after including given header
  ``<files>`` and store the result in a ``<variable>``.  Specify the list
  of files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
  ``<variable>`` will be created as an internal cache variable.

If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered
available and assumed to work.  If the header files declare the symbol
as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for
linking (so intrinsics may not be detected).
If the symbol is a type, enum value, or intrinsic it will not be recognized
(consider using :module:`CheckTypeSize` or :module:`CheckSourceCompiles`).
If the check needs to be done in C++, consider using
:module:`CheckCXXSymbolExists` instead.

The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES.txt

.. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.txt

For example:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckSymbolExists)

  # Check for macro SEEK_SET
  check_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "stdio.h" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
  # Check for function fopen
  check_symbol_exists(fopen "stdio.h" HAVE_FOPEN)
