.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
To verify the symbols exported by a new library version, run
|
|
\fBcheck-symbols\fP with the name of the source package as argument.
|
|
\fBcheck-symbols\fP will first determine the symbols exported by the existing
|
|
and installed libary version, then install the new library and compare the
|
|
symbols exported by the new library version with the symbols exported
|
|
by the old version. For each of the symbols found, \fBcheck-symbols\fP
|
|
will list if the symbol is new, unchanged or has been removed in the
|
|
new library version.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In case the source package contains multiple binary library packages,
|
|
all library files in each of the binary packages will be verified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBcheck\-symbols\fP uses \fBnm\fP -D to determine
|
|
the exported symbols of the libraries.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no value is given for DEBDIR, the script will assume the new library
|
|
deb files are stored in /var/cache/pbuilder/result.
