.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B ldconfig
|
|
creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared
|
|
libraries found in the directories specified on the command line,
|
|
in the file
|
|
.IR /etc/ld.so.conf ,
|
|
and in the trusted directories
|
|
.RI ( /lib
|
|
and
|
|
.IR /usr/lib ).
|
|
The cache is used by the run-time linker,
|
|
.I ld.so
|
|
or
|
|
.IR ld-linux.so .
|
|
.B ldconfig
|
|
checks the header and filenames of the libraries it encounters when
|
|
determining which versions should have their links updated.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B ldconfig
|
|
will attempt to deduce the type of ELF libs (i.e., libc5 or libc6/glibc)
|
|
based on what C libs, if any, the library was linked against.
|
|
.\" The following sentence looks suspect
|
|
.\" (perhaps historical cruft) -- MTK, Jul 2005
|
|
.\" Therefore, when making dynamic libraries,
|
|
.\" it is wise to explicitly link against libc (use \-lc).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Some existing libs do not contain enough information to allow the deduction of
|
|
their type.
|
|
Therefore, the
|
|
.I /etc/ld.so.conf
|
|
file format allows the specification of an expected type.
|
|
This is used
|
|
.I only
|
|
for those ELF libs which we can not work out.
|
|
The format
|
|
is "dirname=TYPE", where TYPE can be libc4, libc5, or libc6.
|
|
(This syntax also works on the command line.)
|
|
Spaces are
|
|
.I not
|
|
allowed.
|
|
Also see the
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
option.
|
|
.B ldconfig
|
|
should normally be run by the superuser as it may require write
|
|
permission on some root owned directories and files.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|

Verbose mode.
|
|
Print current version number, the name of each directory as it
|
|
is scanned, and any links that are created.
|
|
Overrides quiet mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Only process directories specified on the command line.
|
|
Don't process the trusted directories
|
|
.RI ( /lib
|
|
and
|
|
.IR /usr/lib )
|
|
nor those specified in
|
|
.IR /etc/ld.so.conf .

|
.TP
|
|
.B \-X
|
|
Don't update links.
|
|
Unless

is also specified, the cache is still rebuilt.
|
|
.TP

|
|
Change to and use

|
.I root
|
|
as the root directory.
