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 e.g. symbol versioning informa-
tion.

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

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.
