.Sh NAME
.Nm ld.so.conf
.Nd run-time link-editor configuration file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file specifies additional default directories (beyond the standard set,
normally
.Dq /usr/lib )
to be scanned by
.Nm ldconfig
for shared libraries to include in the hints file used by the run-time linker
.Pa /usr/libexec/ld.so .
.Pp
Lines beginning with
.Dq #
are treated as comments and ignored. Any other non-blank lines
are stripped of leading whitespace and trailing comments (introduced with
.Dq # )
together with any preceding whitespace, then treated as directories to be
scanned for shared libraries to add to the hints.
.Sh FILES
.Pa /etc/ld.so.conf
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr ldconfig 8
.Sh BUGS
Directory names containing the comment character
.Pq Dq #
and/or leading or trailing whitespace cannot be included. (Embedded blanks
are allowed, however.)
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
file appeared in
.Nx 1.3 .
