Why pragma(lib, "name"); for .di files does not causes adding -lname to
the linker command line?

For .d it works.

(Compiler is DMD)

I'm unsure I understand the question.

.di files can not be compiled, they only describe what can be found in the library and require the library. .d files on the other hand can be compiled and thus there is no need for a library to exist.
