NAME
find_libs - find pathnames of libraries
SYNOPSIS
find_libs [ -Lpath ... ][ -lname ... ]
find_libs -Help
find_libs -VERSion
DESCRIPTION
The find_libs program is used to find the actual pathname of a library
specified on a cc(1) command line. This allows cook(1) to know these
dependencies.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood.
-Lpath
Specify a path to search for libraries on. If more than one
is specified, they will be scanned in the order given before
the standard /usr/lib and /lib places. This is like the same
argument to cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation
rules do not apply.
-lname
Name a library to be searched for. This is like the same
argument to cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation
rules do not apply.
-Help
Give some information on how to use the find_libs command.
-VERSion
Tell the version of the find_libs command currently executing.
All other options will result in a diagnostic error.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the
upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or
lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example: the arguments "-help", "-HEL" and "-h" are all
interpreted to mean the -Help option. The argument "-hlp" will not be
understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on
the command line.
The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for
find_libs are long, this means ignoring the extra leading ’-’. The
"--option=value" convention is also understood.
EXIT STATUS
The find_libs command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The
find_libs command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
errors.
