NAME

       ldd - List dynamic dependencies of executable files or shared objects

SYNOPSIS

       ldd [-rdV] filename

OPTIONS

       Prints  warnings  for  any unresolved data symbol references that would occur as a result of filename being executed. (Checks references to
       only data objects, not functions.)  Prints warnings for any unresolved symbol references that would occur as a  result  of  filename  being
       executed. (Checks references to both data objects and functions.)  Displays the version of the ldd command.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldd  command  lists  the dynamic dependencies of an executable file or shared object: If filename is an executable file, ldd lists the
       pathnames of all shared objects that would be loaded as a result of executing filename.	If filename is a  shared  object,  ldd	lists  the
       pathnames  of  all shared objects that would be loaded as a result of loading filename. The ldd command expects shared objects to have exe-
       cute permission, and if this is not the case, it will issue a warning before attempting to process the file.

NOTES

       The ldd command does not list shared objects explicitly attached by using dlopen().

       The ldd command prints the record of shared object pathnames to stdout. The optional list of symbol  resolution	problems  are  printed	to
       stderr.

EXIT STATUS

       If filename is not an executable file or a shared object, a non-zero exit status is returned.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  command lists the static dependencies of libXm.so: ldd /usr/shlib/libXm.so The following command lists the static dependen-
       cies of libXm.so as well as any unresolved symbol in libXm.so or any of its dependents: ldd -r /usr/shlib/libXm.so
