Bug #: 13623
Summary: provide API to for standalone dynamic string tokens
(DST) expansion
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
ReportedBy: sbrabec@suse.cz
Classification: Unclassified
DST expansion is used for evaluation of dlopen() path. But the expansion is
private to the libdl and cannot be evaluated for external applications.
It would make sense to provide public API call to expand path:
- Modules directory specification can use $LIB and application would be able to
get a list of modules.
- Application would be able to stat() the module with $LIB in the path to check
whether such file exists, without actual loading them.
