Description : The libabigail package comprises seven command line utilities:
: abidiff, kmidiff, abipkgdiff, abicompat, abidw, and abilint.
: The abidiff command line tool compares the ABI of two
: ELF shared libraries and emits meaningful textual reports about
: changes impacting exported functions, variables and their types.
: Simarly, the kmidiff compares the kernel module interface of two Linux
: kernels. abipkgdiff compares the ABIs of ELF binaries contained in
: two packages. abicompat checks if a subsequent version of a shared
: library is still compatible with an application that is linked against
: it. abidw emits an XML representation of the ABI of a given ELF
: shared library. abilint checks that a given XML representation of the
: ABI of a shared library is correct.
:
: Install libabigail if you need to compare the ABI of ELF shared
: libraries.
