deb-symbols(5) dpkg utilities deb-symbols(5)NAMEdeb-symbols - Debian's extended shared library information fileSYNOPSISsymbolsDESCRIPTIONThe format for an extended shared library dependency information entry in these files is: library-soname main-dependency-template [| alternative-dependency-template] [...] [* field-name: field-value] [...] symbol minimal-version [id-of-dependency-template] The library-soname is exactly the value of the SONAME field as exported by objdump(1). A dependency-template is a dependency where #MINVER# is dynamically replaced either by a version check like "(>= minimal-version)" or by nothing (if an unversioned dependency is deemed suffi- cient). Each exported symbol (listed as name@version, with version being "Base" if the library is not versioned) is associated to a minimal-version of its dependency template (the main dependency template is used if id-of-dependency-template is not present). The first alternative depen- dency template is numbered 1, the second one 2, etc. Each entry for a library can also have some fields of meta-information. Those fields are stored on lines starting with an asterisk. Cur- rently, the only valid field is Build-Depends-Package, it indicates the name of the "-dev" package associated to the library and is used by dpkg-shlibdeps to make sure that the dependency generated is at least as strict as the corresponding build dependency.EXAMPLESSimple symbols file libftp.so.3 libftp3 #MINVER# DefaultNetbuf@Base 3.1-1-6 FtpAccess@Base 3.1-1-6 [...] Advanced symbols file libGL.so.1 libgl1 | libgl1-mesa-glx #MINVER# * Build-Depends-Package: libgl1-mesa-dev publicGlSymbol@Base 6.3-1 [...] implementationSpecificSymbol@Base 6.5.2-7 1 [...]SEE ALSOhttp://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps dpkg-shlibdeps(1), dpkg-gensymbols(1).
