DESCRIPTION

       A runtime linker auditing library is a user-created shared object offering one or more of these interfaces. The runtime linker  ld.so.1(1),
       calls these interfaces during process execution. See the Linker and Libraries Guide for a full description of the link auditing mechanism.
