Manual page for LDCONFIG(8)
ldconfig - link-editor configuration
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/ldconfig
[
directory
... ]
DESCRIPTION
ldconfig
is used to configure a performance-enhancing cache for the run-time
link-editor,
ld.so.
It is run from
/etc/rc.local
and periodically via
cron
to avoid linking with stale libraries. It should be also be run manually
when a new shared object (e.g., a shared library) is installed on the system.
When invoked with no arguments, a default set of directories are built
into the cache - these are the directories searched by default by the
link editors. Additional directories may be specified on the command
line.
FILES
- /etc/ld.so.cache
-
holds the cached data.
