fastbind(1) fastbind(1)

LC_CTYPE

Determines the locale category for character handling functions.

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 internation-

alization variables are set to

C. See environ (5).

In addition, the following environment variable affects

fastbind:

TMPDIR

Speciﬁes a directory for temporary ﬁles (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 ﬁle

a.out

enter:

fastbind a.out

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

fastbind -n a.out

WARNINGS

32-bit PA-RISC 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() deﬁned 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

deﬁnition for foo(), when foo() is ﬁnally 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.
