NAME

ldd - print shared library dependencies

SYNOPSIS

ldd [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

ldd prints the shared libraries required by each program or shared library specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

--version: Print the version number of ldd.
-v --verbose: Print all information.
-d --data-relocs: Perform relocations and report any missing functions (ELF only).
-r --function-relocs: Perform relocations for both data objects and functions, and report any missing objects (ELF only).
--help: Usage information.

BUGS

ldd does not work very well on libc.so.5 itself.

ldd does not work on a.out shared libraries.

ldd does not work with some extremely old a.out programs which were built before ldd support was added to the compiler releases. If you use ldd on one of these programs, the program will attempt to run with argc = 0 and the results will be unpredictable.
