23.3. Checking for the Availability of a Function

Check for the availability of a specific function using the CheckFunc method:

    env = Environment()
    conf = Configure(env)
    if not conf.CheckFunc('strcpy'):
        print 'Did not find strcpy(), using local version'
        conf.env.Append(CPPDEFINES = '-Dstrcpy=my_local_strcpy')
    env = conf.Finish()
