LDD(1)

NAME
ldd - print the shared libraries required to specified programs

SYNOPSIS
ldd [ -v ] prog ...

DESCRIPTION
ldd forks and execs each program with argc equal to zero. The code which normally loads the shared libraries, notices this special case and simply prints the required libraries and exits.

OPTIONS

-v  Print the version number of the ldd binary.

BUGS
ldd will not work with some very old programs which were linked 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.
