question about AC_SEARCH_LIBS

[Vincent Torri]

Hey,

according to the documentation, AC_SEARCH_LIBS searches a function name in 
a set of libraries and add to LIBS the library that contains the function 
(if any).

If I have that code:

AC_SEARCH_LIBS([fnmatch], [fnmatch iberty evil], [res="yes"], [res="no"])

the value is stored in ac_cv_search_fnmatch.

I would like to know if it is possible to also retrieve the value in a 
more common way, instead of getting it from a "private" variable.

thank you
