NAME

	find_libs - find pathnames of libraries

SYNOPSIS

	find_libs [ -Lpath ...	][ -lname ...  ]
	find_libs -Help
	find_libs -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

	The find_libs program is used to find the actual pathname of a library specified on a cc(1) command line.  This allows cook(1) to know
	these dependencies.

OPTIONS

	The following options are understood.

	-Lpath
		Specify a path to search for libraries on.  If more than one is specified, they will be scanned in the order given before the
		standard /usr/lib and /lib places.  This is like the same argument to cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation rules do
		not apply.

	-lname
		Name a library to be searched for.  This is like the same argument to cc(1), and the usual find_libs option abbreviation rules do
		not apply.

	-Help
		Give some information on how to use the find_libs command.

	-VERSion
		Tell the version of the find_libs command currently executing.

	All other options will result in a diagnostic error.

	All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
	optional.  You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

	All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

	For example: the arguments "-help", "-HEL" and "-h" are all interpreted to mean the -Help option.  The argument "-hlp" will not be
	understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

	Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line.

	The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for find_libs are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.  The
	"--option=value" convention is also understood.

EXIT STATUS

	The find_libs command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The find_libs command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
	errors.
