.TH "ENV-UPDATE" "1" "Aug 2008" "Portage VERSION" "Portage" .SH "NAME" env\-update \- updates environment settings automatically .SH "SYNOPSIS" \fBenv\-update\fR \fI[options]\fR .SH "DESCRIPTION" .B env\-update reads the files in \fI/etc/env.d\fR and automatically generates \fI/etc/profile.env\fR and \fI/etc/ld.so.conf\fR. Then \fBldconfig\fR(8) is run to update \fI/etc/ld.so.cache\fR. \fBenv-update\fR is run by \fBemerge\fR(1) automatically after each package merge. Also, if you make changes to \fI/etc/env.d\fR, you should run \fBenv-update\fR yourself for changes to take effect immediately. Note that this would only affect new processes. In order for the changes to affect your active shell, you will probably have to run \fIsource /etc/profile\fR first. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP .B \-\-no\-ldconfig Do not run \fBldconfig\fR (and thus skip rebuilding the \fIld.so.cache\fR, etc...). .SH "REPORTING BUGS" Please report bugs via http://bugs.gentoo.org/ .SH "AUTHORS" Daniel Robbins .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR emerge (1), .BR ldconfig (8)
