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:`CheckCSourceCompiles`).
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:

``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``
  string of compile command line flags.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header search paths to pass to
  the compiler.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS``
  .. versionadded:: 3.14
    a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of options to add to the link command.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of libraries to add to the link
  command. See policy :policy:`CMP0075`.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
  .. versionadded:: 3.1
    execute quietly without messages.

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)
