From my knowledge, *.pc files store metadata about shared libraries. Does the linker automatically use these files when linking against a shared library? If so, where does it search for these files?
No, the linker does not utilize
.pcfiles. Those files are forpkg-config, which can in turn be used to generate commands to link.
