.Sh NAME
.Nm ldd
.Nd list dynamic object dependencies
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm ldd
.Op Fl v
.Op Fl f Ar format
.Ar program ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm ldd
displays all shared objects that are needed to run the given program.
Contrary to nm(1), the list includes
.Dq indirect
dependencies that are the result of needed shared objects which themselves
depend on yet other shared objects.
.Pp
Zero, one or two
.Fl f
options may be given.
The argument is a format string passed to
.Xr rtld 1
and allows customization of
.Nm ldd Ns 's
output.
See
.Xr rtld 1
for a list of recognized conversion characters.
.Pp
The
.Fl v
option displays an verbose listing of the dynamic linking headers
encoded in the executable.  See the source code and include
files for the definitive meaning of all the fields.

.Sh HISTORY
A
.Nm ldd
utility first appeared in SunOS 4.0, it appeared in its current form
in FreeBSD 1.1.
.Pp
The
.Fl v
support is based on code written by John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>

Updated to recent version of Paul K.'s shlib code. This code has better warning handling and allows for link-time warnings with a modified version of gas. Note: Not all of the newer bits were updated such as some of the non-x86 machine-dependant code is relevant to FreeBSD right now. Obtained from: NetBSD 1994-12-23 22:31:35 +00:00			`.Os FreeBSD`

Incorporate John Polstra's sods.c display of the details about the dynamic linking information in the executable. It's quite extensive. It's connected to ldd's (new) -v option. 1996-10-01 02:16:16 +00:00			`.Op Fl v`
Made the synopsis in the man page conform to the style guide. Made the usage message conform to the style guide. Don't use the implementation variable `__progname'. 1996-11-30 16:12:46 +00:00			`.Op Fl f Ar format`
