fixshlib(1M)   UNIX System V(Application Compatibility Package)    fixshlib(1M)


NAME
      fixshlib - alters executables to call SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2-
      compatible libnsl

SYNOPSIS
      fixshlib filename

DESCRIPTION
      SCO applications installed with the custom command [see custom(1M) in the
      System Administrator's Reference Manual] will automatically have
      references to libnsl changed to reference an SCO UNIX System V/386
      Release 3.2-compatible libnsl (shlib/libNSLs).  However, you may need to
      run fixshlib on any SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 application that is
      not installed using the custom command.  The fixshlib command will alter
      the executable to use the SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2-compatible
      libnsl.

      When executing the command, filename is the pathname of the executable to
      be modified.

DIAGNOSTICS
      If filename is not a COFF format a.out executable, you will see the
      following error message:
            unknown file type - possibly bad magic: Error 0

SEE ALSO
      custom(1M) in the System Administrator's Reference Manual

NOTES
      Using the fixshlib command on a COFF executable built or intended to run
      on non-SCO UNIX system implementations could cause the executable to
      fail.  If your executable fails because of this, there is no way to
      restore the executable.  The associated application should be re-
      installed.
