LIBMAP.CONF(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual LIBMAP.CONF(5) NAME libmap.conf -- configuration file for dynamic object dependency mapping DESCRIPTION The libmap functionality of ld-elf.so.1(1) allows dynamic object depen- dencies to be mapped to arbitrary names. Each line in /etc/libmap.conf can have one of five forms: origin target Whenever a dependency on origin is encountered while loading a dynamic object, use target instead of searching for origin in the normal library search paths. path1 path2 When iterating through a library search path, replace any element that matches path1 exactly with path2. [constraint] Apply constraint to all subsequent mappings until the next con- straint line or the end of the file. See the Constraints section for details. include file Parse the contents of file before continuing with the current file. Nesting depth is limited only by available memory, but each file encountered is processed only once, and loops are silently ignored. includedir dir Recurse through dir and parse the contents of any file that ends in .conf before continuing with the current file. Nesting depth is limited only by available memory, but each directory or file encountered is processed only once, and loops are silently ig- nored. Constraints Constrained mappings only apply when processing binaries or libraries that satisfy the constraint. There are three types of constraints: Exact The constraint is matched literally so that only an executable with an identical fully qualified pathname will satisfy the con- straint. This means that the executable /usr/bin/foo will not satisfy the constraint [/usr/bin/./foo], and vice-versa. This is the default constraint type. Basename A constraint with no path is matched against the basename of the executable. For instance, the constraint [foo] will match /bin/foo, /usr/local/sbin/foo, or any other executable named foo, no matter what directory it is in. Directory A constraint with a trailing slash is satisfied if the full path- name begins with the constraint string. For instance, the con- straint [/usr/bin/] will match any executable with a path start- ing with /usr/bin/. Note that the constraints are matched against the path that was passed as the first argument to whichever exec(3) function was used to execute the binary in question. Most programs executed from a shell are run without a full path, via execvp(3) or similar, so the basename constraint type is the most useful. WARNING! Constraints apply to all mappings until the next constraint or the end of the file. Hence, unconstrained mappings must be placed at the top of the file. ABI compatibility On 64-bit architectures that provide 32-bit binary compatibility, the mappings in /etc/libmap.conf apply only to 64-bit binaries. Mappings for 32-bit binaries must be placed in /etc/libmap32.conf. FILES /etc/libmap.conf The libmap configuration file. /etc/libmap32.conf The libmap configuration file for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit system.
