+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ldconfig
+creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared
+libraries found in the directories specified on the command line,
+in the file
+.IR /etc/ld.so.conf ,
+and in the trusted directories
+.RI ( /lib
+and
+.IR /usr/lib ).
+The cache is used by the run-time linker,
+.IR ld.so
+or
+.IR ld-linux.so .
+.B ldconfig
+checks the header and file names of the libraries it encounters when
+determining which versions should have their links updated.
+.PP
+.B ldconfig
+will attempt to deduce the type of ELF libs (ie. libc5 or libc6/glibc)
+based on what C libs, if any, the library was linked against. Therefore, when
+making dynamic libraries, it is wise to explicitly link against libc (use -lc).
+.PP
+Some existing libs do not contain enough information to allow the deduction of
+their type. Therefore, the
+.IR /etc/ld.so.conf
+file format allows the specification of an expected type.  This is
+.B only
+used for those ELF libs which we can not work out. The format
+is "dirname=TYPE", where TYPE can be libc4, libc5, or libc6.
+(This syntax also works on the command line.)  Spaces are
+.B not
+allowed.  Also see the
+.B -p
+option.
+.B ldconfig
+should normally be run by the super-user as it may require write
+permission on some root owned directories and files.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Verbose mode.
+Print current version number, the name of each directory as it
+is scanned, and any links that are created.
+Overrides quiet mode.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Only process directories specified on the command line.
+Don't process the trusted directories
+.RI ( /lib
+and
+.IR /usr/lib )
+nor those specified in
+.IR /etc/ld.so.conf .
+Implies
+.BR \-N .
+.TP
+.B \-N
+Don't rebuild the cache.
+Unless
+.B \-X
+is also specified, links are still updated.
+.TP
+.B \-X
+Don't update links.
+Unless
+.B \-N
+is also specified, the cache is still rebuilt.
+.TP
+.B \-f conf
+Use
+.B conf
+instead of
+.IR /etc/ld.so.conf .
+.TP
+.B \-C cache
+Use
+.B cache
+instead of
+.IR /etc/ld.so.cache .
+.TP
+.B \-r root
+Change to and use
+.B root
+as the root directory.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Library mode. Manually link individual libraries. Intended for
+use by experts only.
+.TP
+.B \-p
+Print the lists of directories and candidate libraries stored in
+the current cache.
