Establishing Dependencies with Dynamic String Tokens

A dynamic object can establish dependencies explicitly or through filters. Each of these mechanisms can be augmented with a runpath, which directs the runtime linker to search for and load the required dependency. String names used to record filters, dependencies and runpath information can be augmented with the following reserved dynamic string tokens.

• $CAPABILITY ($HWCAP)

• $ISALIST

• $OSNAME, $OSREL, $PLATFORM and $MACHINE

• $ORIGIN

The following sections provide examples of how each of these tokens can be employed.
