✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet ld-musl-config — the little system-manager-page icon whose whole job is configuring the musl dynamic linker path's 💅 (yes, that apostrophe is canon, we don't question the elders).

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ld-musl-config

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she takes zero notes and zero options, she just does the thing. main character energy fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: ld-musl-config reads in all the config files it can find under /etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.d, and then it creates a concatenated linker path config file at

/etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path

and that file? that's the one the musl dynamic runtime linker is gonna use. so like, this is the glow-up pipeline that tells your linker where the libraries live. 🔥

Paths can be separated either with newlines or with a ':' character — dealer's choice, she handles both, no cap. 💖

also the best part: ld-musl-config can be called at any time to regenerate that linker path config file. anytime bestie, whenever. just know that the previous config will be overwritten — she doesn't archive, she replaces. 🫶

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • /etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path — generated by ld-musl-config, and it contains an ordered list of library path's. the order matters, it's giving very curated playlist. ✨
  • /etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.d/* — the path config files that get read in by ld-musl-config. these are the sources she's pulling from. 👑
