8 dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating
9 shared library dependancies for all executables found in the package build
12 This program is merely a wrapper around
13 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
14 that calls it once for each package listed in the control file, passing it
15 a list of ELF executables it has found.
21 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.

27 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
29 .B \-Xitem, \--exclude=item
30 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
31 passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This will make their dependancies be ignored.
32 This may be useful in some situations, but use it with caution.
36 .BR dpkg-shlibdeps (1)
37 is run, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will be set to the specified directory.
38 This is useful for multi-binary packages where a library
39 is built in one package and another package contains binaries linked
44 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
