29.Dt LIBMAP.CONF 5
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm libmap.conf
33.Nd "configuration file for dynamic object dependency mapping"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Nm libmap
37functionality of
38.Xr ld-elf.so.1 1
39allows dynamic object dependencies to be mapped to arbitrary names.
40.Pp
41Each line in
42.Pa /etc/libmap.conf
43can have one of five forms:
44.Bl -tag -width indent
45.It Ar origin Ar target
46Whenever a dependency on
47.Ar origin
48is encountered while loading a dynamic object, use
49.Ar target
50instead of searching for
51.Ar origin
52in the normal library search paths.
53.It Ar path1 Ar path2
54When iterating through a library search path, replace any element that
55matches
56.Ar path1
57exactly with
58.Ar path2 .
59.It Bq Ar constraint
60Apply
61.Ar constraint
62to all subsequent mappings until the next constraint line or the end
63of the file.
64See the
65.Sx Constraints
66section for details.
67.It Cm include Ar file
68Parse the contents of
69.Ar file
70before continuing with the current file.
71Nesting depth is limited only by available memory, but each file
72encountered is processed only once, and loops are silently ignored.
73.It Cm includedir Ar dir
74Recurse through
75.Ar dir
76and parse the contents of any file that ends in
77.Pa .conf
78before continuing with the current file.
79Nesting depth is limited only by available memory, but each directory
80or file encountered is processed only once, and loops are silently
81ignored.
82.El
83.Ss Constraints
84Constrained mappings only apply when processing binaries or libraries
85that satisfy the constraint.
86There are three types of constraints:
87.Bl -tag -width indent
88.It Exact
89The constraint is matched literally so that only an executable with an
90identical fully qualified pathname will satisfy the constraint.
91This means that the executable
92.Pa /usr/bin/foo
93will not satisfy the constraint
94.Bq Pa /usr/bin/./foo ,
95and vice-versa.
96This is the default constraint type.
97.It Basename
98A constraint with no path is matched against the basename of the
99executable.
100For instance, the constraint
101.Bq Pa foo
102will match
103.Pa /bin/foo ,
104.Pa /usr/local/sbin/foo ,
105or any other executable named
106.Pa foo ,
107no matter what directory it is in.
108.It Directory
109A constraint with a trailing slash is satisfied if the full pathname
110begins with the constraint string.
111For instance, the constraint
112.Bq Pa /usr/bin/
113will match any executable with a path starting with
114.Pa /usr/bin/ .
115.El
116.Pp
117Note that the constraints are matched against the path that was passed
118as the first argument to whichever
119.Xr exec 3
120function was used to execute the binary in question.
121Most programs executed from a shell are run without a full path, via
122.Xr execvp 3
123or similar, so the basename constraint type is the most useful.
124.Pp
125.Bf -symbolic
126WARNING!
127Constraints apply to all mappings until the next constraint or the end
128of the file.
129Hence, unconstrained mappings must be placed at the top of the file.
130.Ef
131.Ss ABI compatibility
132On 64-bit architectures that provide 32-bit binary compatibility, the
133mappings in
134.Pa /etc/libmap.conf
135apply only to 64-bit binaries.
136Mappings for 32-bit binaries must be placed in
137.Pa /etc/libmap32.conf .
138.Sh FILES
139.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/libmap32.conf" -compact
140.It Pa /etc/libmap.conf
141The libmap configuration file.
142.It Pa /etc/libmap32.conf
143The libmap configuration file for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit system.
