librelib(7) -- Suite of Bash libraries ====================================== ## SYNOPSIS Overview of the librelib Bash library suite. ## DESCRIPTION There are three parts to librelib: 1. The `librelib`(1) executable. 2. The non-executable libraries installed in `/usr/lib/libretools` 3. The executable libraries installed in `/usr/bin` The `librelib` executable isn't very exciting, it just finds the libraries installed in `/usr/lib/libretools`. Think of it as a sort of dynamic-linker. The 'core' of librelib are the libraries installed in `/usr/lib/libretools`. These are `Bash`(1) libraries that may be sourced in Bash programs. Some of these libraries also make sense as stand-alone programs, where if they are invoked directly, the first argument is the library routine to be executed. For example, the `messages` library may be included, or executed: . "$(librelib messages)" msg2 "Foo was found: %s" "$foo" # or libremessages msg2 "Foo was found: %s" "$foo" The `blacklist` library is similar: . "$(librelib blacklist)" blacklist-update # or libreblacklist update ## SEE ALSO * librelib(1) * libremessages(1)/messages.sh(3) * libreblacklist(1)/blacklist.sh(3) * conf.sh(3) * common.sh(3)
