But, Let's ask about this specific question loader maintainer.

Why not ? Please take a look on src/libexec/rtld-aout/rtld.1. Pay special attention to first ".Nm" directive. It says that rtld(1) and ld.so(1) are same utils and, depends on my output "locate ld-elf.so", I sure that ELF variant of rtld.1 manpage (ld-elf.so.1) will be added into FreeBSD source tree. 2John Polstra: Am I right ? -- /* Alexey Zelkin && phantom@cris.net */ /* Tavric National University && phantom@crimea.edu */ /* http://www.ccssu.crimea.ua/~phantom && phantom@FreeBSD.org */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
