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
       -V --version
	      Print the version number of ldd.

       -v --verbose
	      Print all information, including e.g. symbol versioning  infor-
	      mation.

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

       -r --function-relocs
	      Perform relocations for both data objects	 and  functions,  and
	      report any missing objects or functions (ELF only).

       --help Usage information.

NOTES
       The  standard  version  of  ldd	comes with glibc2. Libc5 came with an
       older version, still present on some systems. The long options are not
       supported by the libc5 version.	On the other hand, the glibc2 version
       does not support -V and only has the equivalent --version.

       The libc5 version of this program will use the name of a library given
       on  the	command	 line  as-is  when  it	contains  a '/'; otherwise it
       searches for the library in the standard locations. To  run  it	on  a
       shared library in the current directory, prefix the name with "./".

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.
