8 dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating
9 shared library dependancies for packages.
11 This program is merely a wrapper around
12 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
13 that calls it once for each package listed in the control file, passing it
14 a list of ELF executables and shared libraries it has found.
20 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
22 .B \-uparams, \--dpkg-shlibdeps-params=params
26 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
28 .B \-Xitem, \--exclude=item
29 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
30 passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This will make their dependancies be ignored.
31 This may be useful in some situations, but use it with caution.
35 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
36 is run, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will be set to the specified directory.
37 This is useful for multi-binary packages where a library
38 is built in one package and another package contains binaries linked
43 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
