It is run from /etc/rc.local and periodically via cron to avoid linking with stale libraries. It should be also be run manually when a new shared object (e.g., a shared library) is installed on the system. If you run it w/o options, it uses the default path for the set of directories searched by the link editors. Hope this helps -Gernot
