Question

1) If the pathname root has been set by the switch -sv_root to /home/user and the following object files need to be included:

/home/user/myclibs/lib1.so

/home/user/myclibs/lib3.so

/home/user/proj1/clibs/lib4.so

/home/user/proj3/clibs/lib2.so

then use either of the methods in Example 7-1. Both methods are equivalent.

Example 7-1 — Using a simple bootstrap file or a switch list

2) If the current working directory is /home/user, using the series of switches shown in Example 7-2 (left column) result in loading the following files (right column).

Example 7-2 — Using a combination of -sv_lib and -sv_root switches

3) Further, using the set of switches and contents of bootstrap files shown in Example 7-3:

Example 7-3 — Mixing -sv_root and bootstrap files

results in loading the following files:

/home/usr1/lib1.ext

/home/usr1/lib2.ext

/home/usr2/lib3.ext

/common/libx.ext

/home/usr2/lib5.ext

where ext stands for the actual extension of the corresponding file.
