Just for note: we still have no elf(5) manpage (but as I > know it's in progress) and we still have no ELF dinamic loader (ld-elf.so(1)). I'm no loader expert, so I'll leave that to someone else. But, ld.so(1) also isn't on my 3.2, or 3.3 systems, much less the actual ld.so binary. It is on my 4.0 system, but I suspect that is left over from when this machine used to be 2.2.8 before I upgraded it to 3.2 then 4.0. I should really do a fresh 4.0 install on this machine :-(. Someone is slowly working on an elf(5) man page. As a side note, link(5) could probably use a "SEE ALSO" section. > It means that we will not remove rtld(1) refernce, but create rtld(1) > manpage (which by default will describe ELF format).

I don't have an rtld command installed on any of my 3.2, 3.3, or 4.0 systems, so I don't think we need to create a man page for it. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mpp.pro-ns.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
