Prevents exposing a package to all of the package's
libraries.
The <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB</filename> variable is
useful for prebuilt packages that should not be exposed
to any of the package's libraries.
In other words, you want to skip the
<filename>shlib</filename> procedure for the package.
Triggers the OpenEmbedded build system's shared resolver to
exclude an entire package when scanning for shared
libraries (i.e. the <filename>shlib</filename> procedure.
The <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIBS</filename> variable is
similar to the
<link linkend='var-PRIVATE_LIBS'><filename>PRIVATE_LIBS</filename></link>
variable, which exludes a package's particular libraries
only and not the whole package.

Use the variable by setting it to "1" for a particular
package:
Use the
<filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIBS</filename> variable by
setting it to "1" for a particular package:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB = "1"

You can achieve similar results by using the
<link linkend='var-PRIVATE_LIBS'><filename>PRIVATE_LIBS</filename></link>
variable.
However, with the <filename>PRIVATE_LIBS</filename>
variable, you must specifically list all of a package's
libraries.
Using the <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_SHLIB</filename> variable,
allows you to quickly prevent exposure to all the libraries.
