NAME
deb-shlibs - Debian shared library information file
DESCRIPTION
shlibs files map shared library names and versions (SONAMEs) to dependencies suitable for a package control file. There is one entry per line. Blank lines are not allowed. Lines beginning with an # character are considered commentary, and are ignored. All other lines must have the format
| [type:] library version dependencies |
The dependencies field has the same syntax as the Depends field in a binary control file, see deb-control(5).
SONAME FORMATS
The SONAME formats supported are:
name.so.version
and
name-version.so
where name is usually prefixed by lib.
EXAMPLES
The shlibs file for a typical library package, named libcrunch1, that provides one library whose SONAME is libcrunch.so.1, might read
| libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1) |
