NAME
     ldd - list dynamic object dependencies



SYNOPSIS
     ldd [-f format] program ...

DESCRIPTION
     ldd displays all shared objects that are needed to run the given program.
     Contrary to nm(1),  the list includes ``indirect'' dependencies that are
     the result of needed shared objects which themselves depend on yet other
     shared objects.  Zero, one or two -f options may be given. The argument
     is a format string passed to rtld(1) and allows customization of ldd's
     output. See rtld(1) for a list of recognised conversion characters.
