## Writing packages providing pkg-config modules {#pkg-config-writing-packages}
Packages should set `meta.pkgConfigModules` with the list of package config modules they provide.
They should also use `testers.testMetaPkgConfig` to check that the final built package matches that list.
They should also use `testers.hasPkgConfigModules` to check that the final built package matches that list,
and optionally check that the pkgconf modules' version metadata matches the derivation's.
Additionally, the [`validatePkgConfig` setup hook](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#validatepkgconfig), will do extra checks on to-be-installed pkg-config modules.
A good example of all these things is zlib:
