ldd

LDD(1)							     Linux Programmer's Manual							    LDD(1)

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, including, for example, symbol versioning information.

       -u --unused
	      Print unused direct dependencies.  (Since glibc 2.3.4.)

       -d --data-relocs
	      Perform relocations and report any missing objects (ELF only).

       -r --function-relocs
	      Perform relocations for both data objects and functions, and report any missing objects or functions (ELF only).

       --help Usage information.

NOTES

       The  standard version of ldd comes with glibc2.	Libc5 came with an older version, still present on some systems.  The long options are not
       supported by the libc5 version.	On the other hand, the glibc2 version does not support -V and only has the equivalent --version.

       The libc5 version of this program will use the name of a library given on the command line as-is when  it  contains  a  '/';  otherwise	it
       searches for the library in the standard locations.  To run it on a shared library in the current directory, prefix the name with "./".

BUGS

       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.
