.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 \fIenv-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 ldconfig (and thus skip rebuilding the ldso cache, updating the
links in library paths, etc...).
