I am pretty new in Linux and I have some doubt related to this operation that I have found into a bash script on which I am working:
ldconfig -v >> /dev/null 2>&1
Reading on the man page of the ldconfig command I can read:
ldconfig creates, updates, and removes the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/usr/lib and /lib).
What exactly mean? I am using Ubuntu system and in /etc/ld.so.conf I found:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
So I think that this line redirect me to all the .conf files into /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory
But I have some confusion...and many doubts:
1) What are contains into the .conf file?
2) what exactly do the command that is in my bash script?
Tnx
