The method finds all non-binary files in D. It recognizes them by types of file(1):

    file -b --mime-type FILENAME

Files are considered as non-binary, if their type from the command above is contained in any_root_exec_editable option. Additionally, header files, ending with .h, are skipped, as they don't contain paths inside.

Found files can be safely changed by text editors like sed(1). All occurrences of ROOT are removed from them.
If ROOT is /build/context/amd64/hello-world-1.0, file has contained some path /build/context/amd64/hello-world-1.0/usr/lib, the resulting path in release file will be /usr/lib. Edited path accords to target filesystem layout.

The method writes to D and T.

The method uses any-api(7) variables:

D

T

ROOT

The following options affect the method:

any_root_exec_editable

any(1), any-map(7), any-api(7)
