CHRPATH(1)		change rpath/runpath in binaries	      CHRPATH(1)

NAME
     chrpath - change the rpath or runpath in binaries

SYNOPSIS
     chrpath  [  -v  |	--version  ]  [ -d | --delete ] [ -r <path> |  --replace
     <path> ] [ -c | --convert ] [ -l | --list ] [ -h |  --help  ]  <program>  [
     <program> ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     chrpath changes, lists or removes the rpath or runpath setting in a binary.
     The  rpath, or runpath if it is present, is where the runtime linker should
     look for the libraries needed for a program.

OPTIONS
     -v | --version
	    Display program version number

     -d | --delete
	    Delete current rpath or runpath setting

     -c | --convert
	    Convert the rpath setting into a runpath setting

     -r <path> | --replace <path>
	    Replace current rpath or runpath setting with the path  given.   The
	    new path must be shorter or the same length as the current path.

     -k | --keepgoing
	    Do not fail on first error, but process all arguments before return-
	    ing the error.

     -l | --list
	    List the current rpath or runpath (default)

     -h | --help
	    Show usage information.

EXIT STATUS
     0	    If all operations were successful

     >0     if one of the operations failed.  A failing operation terminates the
	    program unless -k is specified.

BUGS
     This  program  cannot create an RPATH tag if the ELF does not have one, and
     it can only replace an RPATH with one of equal or shorter	length.  (Moving
     ELF sections following a lengthened string table would be difficult and er-
     ror-prone	at best, and is sometimes outright impossible due to issues like
     limited ranges in jump instructions.)
