<p>Functions to analyze and list executable file prerequisites.</p>
<p>This module provides functions to list the .dll, .dylib or .so files
that an executable or shared library file depends on. (Its
prerequisites.)</p>
<p>It uses various tools to obtain the list of required shared library
files:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>dumpbin (Windows)
objdump (MinGW on Windows)
ldd (Linux/Unix)
otool (Mac OSX)
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.16: </span>The tool specified by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_OBJDUMP</span></code> will be used, if set.</p>
</div>
<p>The following functions are provided by this module:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>get_prerequisites
list_prerequisites
list_prerequisites_by_glob
gp_append_unique
is_file_executable
gp_item_default_embedded_path

gp_resolve_item
(projects can override with gp_resolve_item_override)
gp_resolved_file_type

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Get the list of shared library files required by &lt;target&gt;. The list
in the variable named &lt;prerequisites_var&gt; should be empty on first
entry to this function. On exit, &lt;prerequisites_var&gt; will contain the
list of required shared library files.</p>
<p>&lt;target&gt; is the full path to an executable file. &lt;prerequisites_var&gt;
is the name of a CMake variable to contain the results.
&lt;exclude_system&gt; must be 0 or 1 indicating whether to include or
exclude &quot;system&quot; prerequisites. If &lt;recurse&gt; is set to 1 all
prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0 only direct
prerequisites are listed. &lt;exepath&gt; is the path to the top level
executable used for &#64;executable_path replacement on the Mac. &lt;dirs&gt; is
a list of paths where libraries might be found: these paths are
searched first when a target without any path info is given. Then
standard system locations are also searched: PATH, Framework
locations, /usr/lib...</p>

</div>
<p>Print a message listing the prerequisites of &lt;target&gt;.</p>
<p>&lt;target&gt; is the name of a shared library or executable target or the
full path to a shared library or executable file. If &lt;recurse&gt; is set
to 1 all prerequisites will be found recursively, if set to 0 only
direct prerequisites are listed. &lt;exclude_system&gt; must be 0 or 1
indicating whether to include or exclude &quot;system&quot; prerequisites. With
&lt;verbose&gt; set to 0 only the full path names of the prerequisites are
printed, set to 1 extra information will be displayed.</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>LIST_PREREQUISITES_BY_GLOB(&lt;glob_arg&gt; &lt;glob_exp&gt;)
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Print the prerequisites of shared library and executable files
matching a globbing pattern. &lt;glob_arg&gt; is GLOB or GLOB_RECURSE and
&lt;glob_exp&gt; is a globbing expression used with &quot;file(GLOB&quot; or
&quot;file(GLOB_RECURSE&quot; to retrieve a list of matching files. If a
matching file is executable, its prerequisites are listed.</p>
<p>Any additional (optional) arguments provided are passed along as the
optional arguments to the list_prerequisites calls.</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>GP_APPEND_UNIQUE(&lt;list_var&gt; &lt;value&gt;)

not already in the list.</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>IS_FILE_EXECUTABLE(&lt;file&gt; &lt;result_var&gt;)

otherwise.</p>

</div>
<p>Return the path that others should refer to the item by when the item
is embedded inside a bundle.</p>
<p>Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
gp_item_default_embedded_path_override function.</p>

</div>
<p>Return the type of &lt;file&gt; with respect to &lt;original_file&gt;. String
describing type of prerequisite is returned in variable named
&lt;type_var&gt;.</p>
<p>Use &lt;exepath&gt; and &lt;dirs&gt; if necessary to resolve non-absolute &lt;file&gt;
