Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

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.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
