ldd - list dynamic dependencies
SYNOPSIS
ldd
filename
...
DESCRIPTION
For each
filename ,
ldd
lists the dynamically loaded objects on which that
filename
depends, if any. If the dynamic dependency is a ``library'' (a so-called
``shared library''), then both the canonical form of the library name and
version and the actual pathname used to access the library are listed.
For example, if a given
filename
uses a shared C library version 4, which has the name
/usr/lib/libc.so.4.9
(where 9 is the most recent revision to interface version number 4)
then
ldd
filename
will report:
filename:
-lc.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4.9
For each
filename
which is
not an executable program, or else does not require any dynamic objects
for its execution,
ldd
will issue an appropriate diagnostic.
It should be noted that although all
dynamically linked programs depend on the
file
/usr/lib/ld.so ,
ldd
will never report this dependency.
