# vcpkg_copy_pdbs
The latest version of this document lives in the [vcpkg repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/maintainers/vcpkg_copy_pdbs.md).
Automatically locate pdbs in the build tree and copy them adjacent to all DLLs.
```cmake
vcpkg_copy_pdbs(
[BUILD_PATHS <glob>...])
```
The `<glob>`s are patterns which will be passed to `file(GLOB_RECURSE)`,
for locating DLLs. It defaults to using:
- `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/bin/*.dll`
- `${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug/bin/*.dll`
since that is generally where DLLs are located.
## Notes
This command should always be called by portfiles after they have finished rearranging the binary output.
## Examples
* [zlib](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/zlib/portfile.cmake)
* [cpprestsdk](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/cpprestsdk/portfile.cmake)
