fastbind(1)

fastbind(1)

NLSPATH

Determines the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, fastbind behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to C. See environ(5).

In addition, the following environment variable affects fastbind:

TMPDIR

Speci®es a directory for temporary ®les (see tmpnam(3S)).

DIAGNOSTICS

fastbind returns zero when the operation is successful. A non-zero return code indicates that an error occurred.

EXAMPLES

To run fastbind on the executable ®le a.out enter:

fastbind a.out

To later remove the fastbind information from the executable ®le a.out enter:

fastbind -n a.out

WARNINGS

32-bit PARISC fastbind does not work with EXEC_MAGIC executables.

fastbind effectively enforces bind restricted and bind immediate. For example, consider an executable linked bind deferred, which calls a function foo() de®ned in an implicitly loaded library. Before the actual call is made, if it explicitly loads a shared library (using shl_load(3X) with BIND_FIRST) having a de®nition for foo(), when foo() is ®nally called, it will be resolved from the explicitly loaded library. But after running fastbind, the symbol foo() will be resolved from the implicitly loaded library.
