Libpath

The libpath is a path used by the Daemon engine when opening certain resources. There is exactly one libpath. Normally, it is the same as the directory containing the engine binary (see Game locations), but it can be customized with the (rarely used) -libpath command line option.

The following resources are located using the libpath:

• The Breakpad support binary
• NaCl support binaries
• A gamelogic module, if the cvar vm.[cs]game.type is set to a nonzero value.

Additionally, the pkg subdirectory of the libpath is added as a pak search path. But this is not required to exist.

Excluding the gamelogic, shared libraries (.so/.dll/.dylib) are always located using the engine's actual path, as they are loaded automatically by the operating system before the program even starts.
