DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       lldddd  prints  the shared libraries required by each program
       specified on the command line.

       Actually, lldddd simply forks and  execs  each  program  with
       argc  equal  to zero.  The startup code or dynamic linker,
       lldd..ssoo, which normally loads the shared libraries,  notices
       this special case and prints the dependencies.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --vv     Print the version number of lldddd.

       --VV     Print  the  version  number  of the dynamic linker,
              lldd..ssoo.

BBUUGGSS
       lldddd will _n_o_t work with some extremely old  programs  which
       were  linked  before lldddd support was added to the compiler
       releases.  If you use lldddd on one of  these  programs,  the
       program  will attempt to run with argc = 0 and the results
       will be unpredictable.
