NAME

dep.pl − a script to check dependencies

SYNOPSIS

dep.pl [options] files ...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the dep.pl utility.

dep.pl is a program that checks the dependencies of a set of files, using ldd, then outputs a nice report or an easily-parsable list of files.

OPTIONS

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (’−’). A summary of options are included below.
−−bare, −b

Almost the same as −−libs _and_ −−err, except that it outputs the paths of the shared libraries separated by only a space, instead of a newline.

−−chroot=[path], −C=[path]

Simulate a chroot into [path]. Almost the same as −−check−area

−−check−area=[path], −c=[path]

Skip every file outside [path]. Useful if you want to check for bad symlinks in a virtual host.

−−err, −e

Outputs everything to STDERR except the final results, they’ll be printed to STDOUT. This way you can redirect the output, even pass it to a program, while examining the status.

−−exclude=[files], −x=[file]

A colon separated list of files to exclude from checking.

−−force=[ln], −f=[ln]

Force use of the [ln] language.

−−help, −h

Show summary of options.

−−libs, −l

Output only the file list, omit any status messages.

−−license, −L

Display license.

−−nohup, −n

Ignore the HUP signal.

−−recursive, −R

Operate in recursive mode.

−−report, −r

The verbose mode, also the default.

−−stat=[l], −s=[l]

Display some exciting statistics. An optional [l] argument sets the detail level.

−−status=[b], −S=[b]

Turns status messages on or off. Values for [b] can be one of the following: on, off, yes, no, true, false, 1, 0.

−−quiet, −q

Do not output anything. Except the list of libraries at the end.

−−version, −v

Show version of program.

FILES

/etc/dep.pl/language.conf − main language configuration file
/etc/dep.pl/messages.* − messages in different languages
/etc/dep.pl/system.conf − system capabilities (external program
paths)
