CHRPATH(1)	       change rpath/runpath in binaries		    CHRPATH(1)

NAME
       chrpath - change the rpath or runpath in binaries

SYNOPSIS
       chrpath	[  -v | --version ] [ -d | --delete ] [ -r <path> |  --replace
       <path> ] [ -c | --convert ] [ -l | --list ] [ -h | --help ] <program> [
       <program> ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       chrpath	changes,  lists	 or  removes the rpath or runpath setting in a
       binary.	The rpath, or runpath if it is present, is where  the  runtime
       linker should look for the libraries needed for a program.

OPTIONS
       -v | --version
	      Display program version number

       -d | --delete
	      Delete current rpath or runpath setting

       -c | --convert
	      Convert the rpath setting into a runpath setting

       -r <path> | --replace <path>
	      Replace  current	rpath  or runpath setting with the path given.
	      The new path must be shorter or the same length as  the  current
	      path.

       -k | --keepgoing
	      Do  not  fail  on	 first error, but process all arguments before
	      returning the error.

       -l | --list
	      List the current rpath or runpath (default)

       -h | --help
	      Show usage information.

EXIT STATUS
       0      If all operations were successful

       >0     if one of the operations failed.	A failing operation terminates
	      the program unless -k is specified.

BUGS
       This  program  cannot create an RPATH tag if the ELF does not have one,
       and it can only replace an RPATH with one of equal or  shorter  length.
       (Moving	ELF sections following a lengthened string table would be dif‐
       ficult and error-prone at best, and is  sometimes  outright  impossible
       due to issues like limited ranges in jump instructions.)

AUTHOR
       The  chrpath  program  was  written  by	Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hun‐
       gry.com>, based on works by  Geoffrey  Keating  <geoffk@ozemail.com.au>
       and Peeter Joot <peeterj@ca.ibm.com>.

       This   manual   page   was   originally	written	 by  Tollef  Fog  Heen
       <tfheen@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may  be  used
       by others).
