1295abe226 Removed /etc/ld.so.conf reference from FILES section (people get
confused when they can't find it), but leave the reference to it
as being a standard filename (which doesn't imply that it exists).

d4ba5766dd Add -R (rescan or refresh) option to rescan and rebuild the hints
file based on the previous list of directories stored there which
should overcome a weakness of the '-m' switch which can only add
libs.  This is an ideal way of updating the hints list after adding
or removing a shlib since it will remove entries that are gone and
doesn't need to have all the directories spelled out each time.
(eg: rm -f /usr/lib/libtcl75*; ldconfig -R)  This only works for
version 2 hints files (which we've been generating for a year or
so) which store the path.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

566b4de9c1 Document that "ldconfig -m" rescans all directories previously
entered into the hints file, in addition to the directories named
on the command line.

d66f9d22f7 Fixed a bug in the handling of the directories in the search path
that is stored in the hints file.  If that search path contained
a non-existent directory (one, say, that had been removed), and
"ldconfig -m /a/perfectly/good/directory" was run, ldconfig returned
an error status without printing an error message.  This caused
some confusing bombs when installing ports, in particular.

I changed it so that non-existent directories from the stored search
path are silently ignored.  Only non-existent directories named
explicitly on the command line are treated as errors.  Also, a
diagnostic is printed if and only if an error status is returned.

In an unrelated fix, ldconfig now silently ignores any directories
named on the command line when the "-r" option is given.  Formerly,
these directories incorrectly made their way into the "search
directories" line of the listing.  It really should be an error to
specify directories together with "-r", but I don't have time to
fix the manual page in that way right now.

2.2 Candidate.

7c6da7dcef Add a new option "-f hints_file" to specify an alternate file instead of
"/var/run/ld.so.hints".

page.

80c714994d Updates to deal with ld.so.hints version 2. It now deals with the
ldconfig path (from NetBSD).  I added code to make sure there were no
duplicates in the path when multiple ldconfig -m's were used.

edf0e5b3f8 Correct some man page xrefs, and some other minor changes to bring some
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

0f6b2cb3f8 Bring in some of Paul K's fixes for ldconfig from NetBSD-current.
This solves the problem of being unable to use shared libraries with dots
in their names before the ".so.<version>" code.

This should be brought into -stable.

There are more changes from Paul that look like they should be included,
but they change the format of the hints file, so I'm not going to bring them
in now (but we should in the future).

1c7895ac54 Reset the umask before creating the output file; otherwise running
ldconfig as root with a restrictive umask yielded ld.so.hints
unreadable by the world (and thus useless).

f606c848fa Add an "-m" flag to merge instead of replace the entries. We can
now safely add a line like

ldconfig -m ${PREFIX}/lib

in ports' Makefiles and packing lists without throwing away some
directories the user may have added.

d5453ba5c4 Make ldconfig and ld.so not hashing the shared lib minor number. This
misfeature caused troubles when a program attempted to access a shlib
where one with a higher minor number has been hashed.  Ldconfig does
only include the highest-numbered shlib anyway, so this is in no way a
limitation of generality.

Caution: after installing the new programs, your /var/run/ld.so.hints
needs to be rebuiult; run ldconfig again as it's done from /etc/rc.

61f9ce8d32 Updated to recent version of Paul K.'s shlib code. This code has better
warning handling and allows for link-time warnings with a modified
version of gas.

Note: Not all of the newer bits were updated such as some of the non-x86
machine-dependant code is relevant to FreeBSD right now.

699e1b82fb Changes from Paul Kranenburg which bring us into sync with his sources:
handling of errors through the standard err() and warn()
 more fixes for Geoff Rehmet's NULL pointer bug.
 fixes NULL pointer bugs when linking mono and nested X servers.
 supports a `-nostdlib' option.
 accept object files without a symbol table
 don't attempt dynamic linking when `-A' is given

a few variable names have chaged (desc -> fd), and the formatting has
changed which should make it much easier to track his sources.

I tested 'make world' for /usr/src and X twice with these changes.

09e3d49d92 This is Paul K's latest set of ld changes. A commit was necessary at this
late stage due to the fact that link.h was copyright Sun Microsystems.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed).  Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
