SHLIB {utils} | R Documentation

## Build Shared Library for Dynamic Loading

### Description

Compile given source files using `R CMD COMPILE`, and then link all specified object files into a shared library which can be loaded into R using `dyn.load` or `library.dynam`.

### Usage

    R CMD SHLIB [options] [-o libname] files

### Arguments

`files` | a list specifying the object files to be included in the shared library. You can also include the name of source files, for which the object files are automagically made from their sources.
`libname` | the full name of the shared library to be built, including the extension (typically ‘`.so`’ on Unix systems). If not given, the name of the library is taken from the first file.
`options` | Further options to control the processing, or for obtaining information about usage and version of the utility.
