.Dt LIBMAP.CONF 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm libmap.conf
|
|
.Nd "configuration file for dynamic object dependency mapping"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm libmap
|
|
functionality of
|
|
.Xr ld-elf.so.1 1
|
|
allows dynamic object dependencies to be mapped to arbitrary
|
|
names.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration file consists of two whitespace separated columns; the
|
|
left hand side containing the mapping candidate and the right hand
|
|
side containing the mapping.
|
|
Dependencies are matched against candidates and replaced with the mappings.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Constrained mappings may be specified by enclosing the name of the
|
|
executable or library in brackets.
|
|
All mappings following a constraint will only be evaluated for that constraint.
|
|
Constraints can be one of three types:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Exact
|
|
The constraint is matched literally so that only an executable with an
|
|
identical fully qualified pathname will match the constraint.
|
|
This means that the executable
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin/foo
|
|
will not match a constraint for
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin/./foo
|
|
and vice-versa.
|
|
This is the default constraint type.
|
|
.It Basename
|
|
A constraint with no path is matched against the basename of the
|
|
executable.
|
|
.Pa foo
|
|
will match
|
|
.Pa /bin/foo ,
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/sbin/foo ,
|
|
or any other executable named
|
|
.Pa foo ,
|
|
no matter what its path is.
|
|
.It Directory
|
|
A constraint with a trailing slash is prefix-matched against the full
|
|
pathname of the executable.
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin/
|
|
will match any executable with a path starting with /usr/bin.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the executable path matched against is the
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
parameter in an
|
|
.Fn exec*
|
|
function call.
|
|
The Directory or Exact constraints can only match when the executable
|
|
is called with a full pathname.
|
|
Most programs executed from a shell are run without a full path, via
|
|
.Fn exec*p ,
|
|
so the Basename constraint type is the most useful.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
WARNING!
|
|
Constrained mappings must never appear first in the configuration file.
|
|
While there is a way to specify the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
constraint, its use is not recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The most common use at the date of writing is for allowing multiple
|
|
.Tn POSIX
|
|
threading libraries to be used on a system without relinking or
|
|
changing symlinks.
