# FFI::Build::File::Library

Class to track object file in FFI::Build

## VERSION

version 2.12

## SYNOPSIS

```perl
use FFI::Build;

my $build = FFI::Build->new(source => 'src/*.c');
# $lib is an instance of FFI::Build::File::Library
my $lib = $build->build;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a class to track a library generated by [FFI::Build](../../Build.md).
This is returned by [FFI::Build](../../Build.md)'s build method.  This class
is a subclass of [FFI::Build::File::Base](Base.md).  The most important
method is probably `path`, which returns the path to the library
which can be passed into [FFI::Platypus](../../Platypus.md) for immediate use.

## METHODS

### path

```perl
my $path = $lib->path;
```

Returns the path of the library.
