ldd(1)
NAME
  ldd - List dynamic dependencies of executable files or shared objects

SYNOPSIS
  ldd [-rdV] filename

OPTIONS
  -d  Prints warnings for any unresolved data symbol references that would
      occur as a result of filename being executed. (Checks references to
      only data objects, not functions.)

  -r  Prints warnings for any unresolved symbol references that would occur
      as a result of filename being executed. (Checks references to both data
      objects and functions.)

  -V  Displays the version of the ldd command.

DESCRIPTION
  The ldd command lists the dynamic dependencies of an executable file or
  shared object:

    ·  If filename is an executable file, ldd lists the pathnames of all
       shared objects that would be loaded as a result of executing filename.

    ·  If filename is a shared object, ldd lists the pathnames of all shared
       objects that would be loaded as a result of loading filename. The ldd
       command expects shared objects to have execute permission, and if this
       is not the case, it will issue a warning before attempting to process
       the file.

NOTES
  The ldd command does not list shared objects explicitly attached by using
  dlopen().

  The ldd command prints the record of shared object pathnames to stdout. The
  optional list of symbol resolution problems are printed to stderr.

EXIT STATUS
  If filename is not an executable file or a shared object, a non-zero exit
  status is returned.

EXAMPLES
   1.  The following command lists the static dependencies of libXm.so:
	    ldd /usr/shlib/libXm.so

   2.  The following command lists the static dependencies of libXm.so as
       well as any unresolved symbol in libXm.so or any of its dependents:
	    ldd -r /usr/shlib/libXm.so
