Description

-d | –delete

Delete current rpath or runpath setting

-c | –convert

Convert the rpath setting into a runpath setting

-r <path> | –replace <path>

Replace current rpath or runpath setting with the path given

-k | –keepgoing

Do not fail on first error, but process all arguments before returning the error.

-l | –list

List the current rpath or runpath (default)

-h | –help

Show usage information.

Exit Status

0

If all operations were successful

>0

if one of the operations failed. A failing operation terminates the program unless -k is specified.
