# Dist::Build::XS::Export(3pm)

Dist::Build extension to export headers for other XS modules

## NAME

Dist::Build::XS::Export - Dist::Build extension to export headers for other XS modules

## VERSION

version 0.020

## SYNOPSIS

```
 load_extension('Dist::Build::XS::Export');
 export_headers(
     module => 'Foo::Bar',
     dir    => 'include',
 );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This `"Dist::Build"` extension will export headers for your module, so they can be used by other modules using `"Dist::Build::Import"`.

## METHODS

### export\_headers

This copies the given header for the appropriate module to the approriate sharedir.

- •

  module

  The name of the module to export. This defaults to the main module.

- •

  dir

  The directory to export (e.g. `'include'`).

- •

  file

  A file (or a list of files) to export (e.g. `'foo.h'`).

At least one of `"dir"` and `"file"` must be defined. Note that this function can be called multiple times (e.g. for multiple modules).

### export\_flags

This stores the given flags for the module in the appropriate sharedir. The module can be set using the `"module"` named argument but will default to the main module of the dist. The `"include_dirs"`, `"defines"`, `"extra_compiler_flags"`, `"libraries"`, `"library_dirs"`, `"extra_linker_flags"` arguments are all stored as-is.
