LDD(1)LDD(1)NAMEldd - list dynamic dependencies
SYNOPSISldd 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 appro‐
priate 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.
