deb-shlibs(5) dpkg suite deb-shlibs(5) NAME deb-shlibs - Debian shared library information file DESCRIPTION shlibs files map shared library names and versions (sonames) to dependen- cies suitable for a package control file. There is one entry per line. Blank lines are not allowed. Lines beginning with an # character are con- sidered commentary, and are ignored. All other lines must have the format [type:] library version dependencies The library and version fields are whitespace-delimited, but the dependen- cies field extends to the end of the line. The type field is optional and normally not needed. The dependencies field has the same syntax as the Depends field in a binary control file, see deb-control(5). EXAMPLES The shlibs file for a typical library package, named libcrunch1, that pro- vides one library whose soname is libcrunch.so.1, might read libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1) The dependencies must mention the most recent version of the package that added new symbols to the library: in the above example, new symbols were added to version 1.2 of libcrunch. This is not the only reason the depen- dencies might need to be tightened. SEE ALSO deb-control(5), dpkg-shlibdeps(1), deb-symbols(5). 1.19.8 2022-05-24 deb-shlibs(5)
