MKLIBS(1)

💖 MKLIBS(1) — the Debian User's Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about mklibs-small from the Debian User's Manual. this is the manual page for mklibs-small, and yes it's giving tiny-but-mighty energy. it makes a minimal set of libraries, and honestly? iconic behaviour. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mklibs-small — make a minimal set of libraries. that's it, that's the whole personality. minimal. slay. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mklibs-small [OPTION]... -d DESTINATION FILE...

read it, memorise it, put it in your notes app. OPTIONs, then -d DESTINATION, then your FILEs. periodt. 💜

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the vibe: mklibs-small takes the minimal set of libraries that your FILE(s) actually need, and drops them into DESTINATION. that's the whole job. no bloat, no extras, just the essentials. it's giving capsule wardrobe but for shared libraries. 🧚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -D, --no-default-lib — skips the default library path entirely. not me ignoring the default path, we don't know her. 🙈
• -d DESTINATION, --dest-dir DESTINATION — puts the libraries in DESTINATION. this is the spot, the destination of destiny, the main character location. 👑
• -L LIBDIR[:LIBDIR]... — prepends the LIBDIR(s) to the library search path. multiple libdirs? separate them with : bestie, stack 'em up like friendship bracelets. 🫶
• --ldlib LDLIB — uses LDLIB for the dynamic linker. yes, that's the one you want in the linker seat. 💅
• --libc-extras-dir EXTRADIR — uses EXTRADIR to find the extra libc files. the little extras directory where the bonus content lives. 🍓
• -v, --verbose — explains what is being done. she's narrating her own life, and honestly? we're obsessed. 😭
• -h, --help — displays help and exits. the classic "just tell me what's going on" move, and it dips immediately after. respectful. ✨

⚠️ real talk: nothing here is dangerous, but -d DESTINATION is required in the synopsis, so don't come to the function without a destination. the vibe check will fail. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie! this was MKLIBS(1) from the Debian User's Manual, dated 2002-07-07 — yeah, she's an elder but she still ate. 🌈 bye pookie, go build something minimal 💖
