DH_SHLIBDEPS(S)             Debhelper             DH_SHLIBDEPS(S)



NAME
       dh_shlibdeps - calculate shared library dependancies

SYNOPSIS
       dh_shlibdeps [debhelper options] [-ldirectory] [-Xitem]
       [-- params]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible
       for calculating shared library dependancies for packages.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-shlibdeps(s)
       that calls it once for each package listed in the control
       file, passing it a list of ELF executables and shared
       libraries it has found.

OPTIONS
       -uparams, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=params
       -- params
           Pass "params" to dpkg-shlibdeps(s).

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their
           filename from being passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This
           will make their dependancies be ignored.  This may be
           useful in some situations, but use it with caution.
           This option may be used more than once to exclude more
           than one thing.

       -ldirectory[:directory:directory:..]
           Before dpkg-shlibdeps is run, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will
           have added to it the specified directory (or directo-
           ries -- separate with colons). This is useful for
           multi-binary packages where a library is built in one
           package and another package contains binaries linked
           against said library. Relative paths will be made
           absolute for the benefit of dpkg-shlibdeps.
