6 copydeps - copy a program's dependencies (.so / .dll files)
7
9 copydeps [OPTIONS] EXECUTABLE [TARGET-DIR]
10
12 copydeps is a small program that can be used to find and copy all .so /
13 .dll files needed by a program to run. This can be useful when you
14 want to bundle an application together will all its dependencies.
15
16 EXECUTABLE can be one of the following supported formats:
17 · 32-bit ELF
18 · 64-bit ELF
19 · i386 Microsoft Windows executable
20 · x86_64 Microsoft Windows executable
21
22 TARGET-DIR specifies the directory to copy the .so / .dll files to.
23 When omitted, defaults to the directory of the target executable.
24
26 --dry-run
27 Print the list of dependencies without actually copying the .so
28 / .dll files.
29
30 --exedir
31 Include the directory of the executable in the .so / .dll
32 resolve paths. Files found in the exedir are preferred over
33 those found anywhere else.
34
35 --help Print a short help message and exit.
36
37 --ignore PATTERN
38 Add the regular expression PATTERN to the ignore-list (.so /
39 .dll names that should not be resolved nor copied over).
40
41 --no-clobber
42 Do not overwrite .so / .dll files already existing in the target
43 directory.
44
45 --override PATTERN
46 Add the regular expression PATTERN to the override-list (.so /
47 .dll names that should always be resolved and copied over).
48 Overrides take precedence over ignores.
49
50 --search-dir DIRECTORY
51 Add DIRECTORY to the list of paths to search when resolving .so
52 / .dll names. User-specified directories take precedence over
53 system paths.
54
55 --verbose
56 Print the names of the dependencies as they're being copied
57 over.
58
59 --version
60 Print version information and exit.

69 3 Failed to parse one of the .so / .dll files, be it a direct
70 dependency of EXECUTABLE, or a dependency of another library.
71
72 4 Failed to resolve one or more of the dependency names.
