# dh\_dlopenlibdeps(1)

parse dlopen library dependencies from ELF notes

## NAME

dh\_dlopenlibdeps - parse dlopen library dependencies from ELF notes

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_dlopenlibdeps** \[*debhelper options*\] \[**-X***item*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_dlopenlibdeps** is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating dlopen library dependencies for packages.

This program follows the dlopen notes metadata specification as defined at https://systemd.io/ELF\_PACKAGE\_METADATA/

## OPTIONS

- **-X***item*, **--exclude=***item*

  Exclude files that contain *item* anywhere in their filename from being parsed. This will make their dependencies be ignored. This may be useful in some situations, but use it with caution. This option may be used more than once to exclude more than one thing.

## SEE ALSO
