#' @description
#' The easiest way for the [Chadwick CLI](https://github.com/chadwickbureau/chadwick/releases) 
#' tools to work on *nix systems is to
#' set the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable. Unfortunately this environment
#' variable is not set by default during the Chadwick installation. 
#' 
#' `chadwick_ld_library_path()` checks to find the Chadwick shared libraries, and then
#' set the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable. 
#' If `chadwick_ld_library_path()` returns `TRUE`, the `cwevent` command line program 
#' that \code{\link{retrosheet_data}}
#' depends on should work. 
#' 
#' The other functions documented here are mostly for internal use.

#' @export
#' @seealso [retrosheet_data()]
#' @examples

#' if (chadwick_ld_library_path()) {
#'   retrosheet_data(tempdir())
