from conan.tools.files import collect_libs

def package_info(self):
self.cpp_info.libdirs = ["lib", "other_libdir"] # Deafult value is 'lib'

self.cpp_info.libdirs = ["lib", "other_libdir"] # Default value is 'lib'
self.cpp_info.libs = tools.collect_libs(self)

For UNIX libraries starting with **lib**, like *libmath.a*, this tool will collect the
library name **math**. Regarding symlinks, this tool will keep only the "most generic"
file among the resolved real file and all symlinks pointing to this real file. For example
among files below, this tool will select *libmath.dylib* file and therefore only append
*math* in the returned list:

.. code-block:: shell

-rwxr-xr-x libmath.1.0.0.dylib lrwxr-xr-x libmath.1.dylib -> libmath.1.0.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x libmath.dylib -> libmath.1.dylib
