Subject: ld.so.8: Explain than empty entry in LD_LIBRARY_PATH means cwd
X-Git-Tag: man-pages-5.08~115
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=af04113d0c60e1f21d216e7f25e2dc1cabbf17be;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

ld.so.8: Explain than empty entry in LD_LIBRARY_PATH means cwd

If this was ever going to change the test case is very simple:

$ cd /tmp
$ touch libc.so.6
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=: sh
sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: file too short
