INLIB(1)                        Domain/OS BSD                         INLIB(1)




NAME
     inlib - install a user-supplied library

SYNOPSIS
     inlib pathname...

DESCRIPTION
     inlib installs a library at the current shell level; it remains installed
     until the shell that installed it exits. See the note below for
     information on loading a library that is used by all processes.  The
     newly installed library will be used to resolve external references of
     programs (and libraries) loaded after its installation.  (Thus,
     previously loaded libraries and programs will not be affected.)

     Note that only those global references that are marked by the binder
     become visible, and that the default action of the binder is to leave
     globals unmarked.  Therefore, you should take care to mark all
     appropriate globals when you bind your library.

     inlib is an internal shell command.  You can create a library that is
     installed automatically in every process.  This library resides in the
     file /lib/userlib.private.  The procedure text in this library will be
     shared among all processes.

     This library must be present at node start-up time in order to be
     installed.  After copying your library to /lib/userlib.private, you must
     shut down the node and start it up again in order to use the library.
     Changes to the library also require rebooting the node to load the new
     routines.

     Global names in /lib/userlib.private must not duplicate names used in
     Domain libraries.

     pathname (required)
                    Specify name of library file(s) to be installed.  Multiple
                    pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.
