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!)
