This is a special setup hook which helps in packaging proprietary software in that it automatically tries to find missing shared library dependencies of ELF files based on the given <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>.

+ You can also specify a <varname>runtimeDependencies</varname> variable which lists dependencies to be unconditionally added to <glossterm>rpath</glossterm> of all executables.
This is useful for programs that use <citerefentry>

- In certain situations you may want to run the main command (<command>autoPatchelf</command>) of the setup hook on a file or a set of directories instead of unconditionally patching all outputs. This can be done by setting the <envar>dontAutoPatchelf</envar> environment variable to a non-empty value.

The <command>autoPatchelf</command> command also recognizes a <parameter class="command">--no-recurse</parameter> command line flag, which prevents it from recursing into subdirectories.
