# - 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>.  This does not verify that any
# system header file declares the function, only that it can be found
# at link time (considure using CheckSymbolExists).
#
# 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
