+.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,
+.I /lib
+and
+.IR /usr/lib .
+On some 64-bit architectures such as x86-64,
+.I /lib
+and
+.I /usr/lib
+are the trusted directories for 32-bit libraries,
+while
+.I /lib64
+and
+.I /usr/lib64
+are used for 64-bit libraries.
+.P
+The cache is used by the run-time linker,
+.I ld.so
+or
+.IR ld\-linux.so .
+.B \%ldconfig
+checks the header and filenames of the libraries it encounters when
+determining which versions should have their links updated.
+.\" Support for libc4 and libc5 dropped in
+.\" 8ee878592c4a642937152c8308b8faef86bcfc40 (2022-07-14) as "obsolete
+.\" for over twenty years".
+.B \%ldconfig
+should normally be run by the superuser as it may require write
+permission on some root owned directories and files.
+.P
+.B \%ldconfig
+will look only at files that are named
+.I lib*.so*
+(for regular shared objects) or
+.I ld\-*.so*
+(for the dynamic loader itself).
+Other files will be ignored.
+Also,
+.B \%ldconfig
+expects a certain pattern to how the symbolic links are set up,
+like this example,
+where the middle file
+.RB ( libfoo.so.1
+here) is the SONAME for the library:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+libfoo.so \-> libfoo.so.1 \-> libfoo.so.1.12
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+Failure to follow this pattern may result in compatibility issues
+after an upgrade.
