-.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.
