NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_shlibdeps - calculate shared library dependancies

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_shlibdeps [debhelper options] [-ldirectory] [-Xitem] [-- params]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating
       shared library dependancies for packages.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-shlibdeps(1) that calls it
       once for each package listed in the control file, passing it a list of
       ELF executables and shared libraries it has found.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       -uparams, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=params
       -- params
	   Pass "params" to dpkg-shlibdeps(1).

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
	   being passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This will make their dependancies
	   be ignored.	This may be useful in some situations, but use it with
	   caution. This option may be used more than once to exclude more
	   than one thing.

       -ldirectory[:directory:directory:..]
	   Before dpkg-shlibdeps is run, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will have added to it
	   the specified directory (or directories -- separate with colons).
	   This is useful for multi-binary packages where a library is built
	   in one package and another package contains binaries linked against
	   said library. Relative paths will be made absolute for the benefit
	   of dpkg-shlibdeps.
