NAME

     ldbash — Dynamic loader for libbash(7) libraries.

SYNOPSIS

     ldbash [-h | --help]
     ldbash [-l | --list]
     ldbash [-L | --load lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [-U | --unload lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [-e | --externlist lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [--externlist-all]
     ldbash [--i | --internlista lib,[lib] ...]
     ldbash [--internlist-all]

DESCRIPTION

     ldbash  is  used  to  manipulate libbash(7) libraries. Its main function is to load specific
     library.  It can also print  list  of  available  libraries,  list  functions  each  library
     exports, unload functions, etc.

     In case of --load and --unload ,the output is intended to be passed to bash eval command.

Options

     -h | --help   Print options summary

     -l | --list   Display list of available libraries. The libraries names listed, may be passed
                   as parameters to other invocations of  ldbash.   I.e.  first  you  run  ldbash
                   --list to see what is available and then you may load it.

     -L | --load lib,[lib] ...
                   Load  given  libraries  -  i.e.  print  string  that  should be passed to eval
                   command.  Usually the string contains various source commands.

                   Libraries that given libraries depend on are also loaded.

                   Libraries only loaded if their dependencies are  satisfied.  Dependencies  are
                   resolved using ldbash.cache file, which is created by ldbashconfig(8).

     -U | --unload lib,[lib] ...
                   Unload given libraries, but not their dependencies.

                   The output should be passed to eval command (in the same manner as with --load
                   ).

     -e | --externlist lib,[lib] ...
                   List all symbols that are exported by given  libraries.  Symbols  are  usually
                   functions that given libraries implement.

     --externlist-all
                   List  all  exported  symbols  of  all available libraries. Symbols are usually
                   functions that library implement.

     -i | --internlist lib,[lib] ...
                   List  all  internal  symbols  (i.e.  global  variables/functions)   of   given
                   libraries.   This  is  intended  mostly  for  developers  that want to develop
                   library of their own, and want to be sure that they don't override any already
                   defined symbol.

     --internlist-all
                   List all internal symbols of all available libraries.  This is intended mostly
                   for developers that want to develop library of their own, and want to be  sure
                   that they don't override any already defined symbol.

FILES

     /etc/ldbash.cache
            Cache  file  that  contains  information  about  libraries  dependencies  and list of
            exported symbols. See ldbashconfig((8)) for further details.

BUGS

     The script can't load libraries if their file name starts with ‘-’.  (If someone  uses  file
     names that start with a ‘-’ he/she deserves it!)
