NAME

shlib - print shared library path environment

 

SYNOPSIS

edrc/lib/shlib [ -n ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/edrc

 

DESCRIPTION

print the environment variables needed by the dynamic linker ld(1) to locate the shared libraries. If a script need to set this environment variables ( $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $SHLIB_PATH ), use
  eval `shlib`

instead of setting them by your own. This ensures, that all scripts will continue to run, even when the directory structure in WA2L/edrc changes.

 

OPTIONS

-n
no export VARIABLE ... output.

 

ENVIRONMENT

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
path of additional shared libraries loaded by the ld dynamic linker. This variable will be expanded with the shared library locations for a certain Os-Id distributed with WA2L/edrc when executing the shlib command.

$SHLIB_PATH
this variable is expanded as the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is done. This variable has basically the same function as the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and is mostly active on HPUX systems.

 

EXIT STATUS

0
always

 

FILES

[edrc/lib/<Os-Id>/<GLIBC>/libs/:]edrc/lib/<Os-Id>/libs/
location of operating system dependent shared libraries. This directory is appended to the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the $SHLIB_PATH environment variables when executing shlib.

/usr/ccs/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/local/lib
standard library path for Solaris.

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/etc:/lib:/lib/tls:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib
standard library path for Linux.

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $SHLIB_PATH
