Hello List, I'm a newbie and coming from Linux background, and am trying to learn FreeBSD now. The first thing I find a little confusing is that the final FreeBSD kernel image is shown as a DYNAMICALLY LINKED binary:
$ $ pwd /boot/kernel $ $ file kernel kernel: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped $ How can the kernel image use shared libraries? And which ones does it use, if any? Also, I cannot find out the libraries the image uses using the traditional ldd command: $ ldd kernel kernel: kernel: signal 6 $ Can some please throw some light? Thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
