NAME¶
find_libs - find pathnames of libraries
SYNOPSIS¶
find_libs [
-Lpath ... ][
-lname ... ]
find_libs -Help
find_libs -VERSion
DESCRIPTION¶
The
find_libs program is used to find the actual pathname of a library
specified on a
cc(1) command line. This allows
cook(1) to know
these dependencies.
OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood.
- -Lpath
-
Specify a path to search for libraries on. If more than one is specified,
they will be scanned in the order given before the standard
/usr/lib and /lib places. This is like the same argument to
cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation rules do not
apply.
- -lname
-
Name a library to be searched for. This is like the same argument to
cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation rules do not
apply.
- -Help
-
Give some information on how to use the find_libs command.
- -VERSion
-
Tell the version of the find_libs command currently executing.
All other options will result in a diagnostic error.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case
letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use
consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case
or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example: the arguments "-help", "-HEL" and
"-h" are all interpreted to mean the
-Help option. The
argument "-hlp" will not be understood, because consecutive optional
characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command
line.
The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for
find_libs are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The
"
--option=value" convention is also
understood.
EXIT STATUS¶
The
find_libs command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The
find_libs command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
errors.
