libdir

Name

libdir - locate ROX library directories

Synopsis

libdir [--version x.y.z] [--appdir|--libdir] [--path path] [--append-path path] [--prepend-path path] [--0install site] library-name

Description

The libdir program is used to locate ROX Desktop application directories. It searches a default path, modified by the options, and prints the full path of the first match it finds. Typically it is used to locate a library stored as an application directory by programs which wish to link against it.

The library-name is the name of the library, specifically it is the name of the application directory the library resides in.

Options

The following options are supported

--version x.y.z

Requests that the version of the library be at least x.y.z. The version is extracted from the AppInfo.xml file. If this is not present or does not contain a Version element then the directory is not selected.

--appdir

Sets the search path to $APPDIRPATH ($HOME/Apps:/usr/local/apps:/usr/apps) .

--libdir

Sets the search path to $LIBDIRPATH ($HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib) . This is the default.

--path path

Sets the search path to path.

--append-path path

Appends path (which may be a single directory or colon separated list of directories) to the search path.

--prepend-path path

Prepends path (which may be a single directory or colon separated list of directories) to the search path.

--0install site

Appends /uri/0install/site/dir to the search path. dir is lib if the program is called as libdir, apps otherwise.
