New group advocates for FOSS in libraries

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:00:00 GMT
A new advocacy group, the Public Software Foundation (PSF), is working to make free and open source software available to local libraries so it can be checked out and used just like a book or video. The premise is simple: hand out one CD and maybe you've taught one person; make it available in a library and perhaps you'll reach hundreds or thousands.

NAME
cmpdylib - compare two dynamic shared libraries for compatibility SYNOPSIS
cmpdylib oldLibrary newLibrary DESCRIPTION
cmpdylib compares two versions of a dynamic shared library to see if they are compatible with each other. If the two versions are incompat- ible, the reason is printed to stdout, and the exit status is nonzero. If they are compatible, nothing is printed, and the exit status is zero. To see if the two versions are compatible, cmpdylib first verifies that newLibrary was built for all of the architectures that oldLibrary was built for. If so, for each architecture, it checks to see if the global symbols defined in oldLibrary are still defined in newLibrary. It then looks for new symbols, symbols defined in newLibrary that are not defined in oldLibrary. If it finds new symbols, it compares the compatibility version numbers of the two libraries. If the compatibility version number of newLibrary is greater than oldLibrary, the libraries are still compatible. If the compatibility version number is the same or less, the libraries are incompatible. OPTIONS
oldLibrary The older version of the library. newLibrary The newer version of the library. EXAMPLES
This example shows the result of performing cmpdylib on two incompatible versions of the Foundation library. As stated, the versions are incompatible because the newer version was not built for the ppc architecture. cmpdylib /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Foundation Foundation_proj/Foundation cmpdylib: file: Foundation_proj/Foundation does not contain architecture: ppc cmpdylib: new dynamic shared library: Foundation_proj/Foundation does not contain architecture ppc DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status is zero if the library versions are compatible and nonzero if they are incompatible. BUGS
There are lots of other things that could be checked for that are not (such as the Objective C API). Apple Computer, Inc. November 3, 1997 CMPDYLIB(1)
