NAME
       pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process

SYNOPSIS
       pldd pid
       pldd option

DESCRIPTION
       The  pldd  command  displays a list of the dynamic shared objects that are linked into the process with the specified process ID.  The list
       includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using dlopen(3).

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
	      Display program help message.

       --usage
	      Display a short usage message.

       -V, --version
	      Display the program version.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, pldd exits with the status 0.  If the specified process does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
       shared  object  list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd exists with a status of 1.  If given an invalid option, it exits with
       the status 64.

VERSIONS
       pldd is available since glibc 2.15.

CONFORMING TO
       The pldd command is not specified by POSIX.1.  Some other systems have a similar command.

NOTES
       The command

	   lsof -p PID

       also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects that are linked into a process.

       The gdb(1) info shared command also shows the shared libraries being used by a process, so that one can obtain similar output to pldd using
       a command such as the following (to monitor the process with the specified pid):

	   $ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared" 
		   -ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'

BUGS
       Since glibc 2.19, pldd is broken: it just hangs when executed.  It is unclear if it will ever be fixed.

EXAMPLE
       $ echo $$	       # Display PID of shell
       1143
       $ pldd $$	       # Display DSOs linked into the shell
       1143:	 /usr/bin/bash
