It scans a set of built-in system directories and - any _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_i_e_s specified on the command line (in the given order) look- - ing for shared libraries and stores the results in the file - /var/run/ld.so.hints to forestall the overhead that would otherwise re- - sult from the directory search operations ld.so would have to perform to - load the required shared libraries. - - The shared libraries so found will be automatically available for loading - if needed by the program being prepared for execution. This obviates the - need for storing search paths within the executable. - - The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable can be used to override the use - of directories (or the order thereof) from the cache or to specify addi- - tional directories where shared libraries might be found. - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a `:' separated list of directory paths which are - searched by ld.so when it needs to load a shared library. It can be - viewed as the run-time equivalent of the --LL switch of ld. - - LLddccoonnffiigg is typically run as part of the boot sequence. - - The following options are recognized by llddccoonnffiigg:: - - --RR Rescan the previously configured directories. This opens the - hints file and fetches the directory list from the header. Any - additional pathnames on the command line are also processed. - - --mm Merge the result of the scan of the directories given as argu- - ments into the existing hints file. The default action is to - build the hints file afresh. - - --rr Lists the current contents of ld.so.hints on the standard output. - The hints file will not be modified. - - --ss Do not scan the built-in system directory (``/usr/lib'') for - shared libraries. - - --vv Switch on verbose mode. - -SSeeccuurriittyy - Special care must be taken when loading shared libraries into the address - space of set-user-Id programs. Whenever such a program is run, ld.so will - only load shared libraries from the ld.so.hints file. In particular, the - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used to search for libraries. Thus, the role of - ldconfig is dual. In addition to building a set of hints for quick - lookup, it also serves to specify the trusted collection of directories - from which shared objects can be safely loaded. It is presumed that the - set of directories specified to llddccoonnffiigg are under control of the sys- - tem's administrator. ld.so further assists set-user-Id programs by eras- - ing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment. - - -FFIILLEESS - /var/run/ld.so.hints - -SSEEEE AALLSSOO - ld(1), link(5) - -HHIISSTTOORRYY - A llddccoonnffiigg utility first appeared in SunOS 4.0, it appeared in its cur- - rent form in NetBSD 0.9a. - -OpenBSD 2.6 October 3, 1993 2 |
