Problem

How to use the ldd command: Display shared library dependencies of a binary. Do not use on an untrusted binary, use objdump for that instead. More information: <https://manned.org/ldd>.

Solution

ldd — Display shared library dependencies of a binary. Do not use on an untrusted binary, use objdump for that instead. More information: <https://manned.org/ldd>.

Display shared library dependencies of a binary:

ldd {{path/to/binary}}

Display all information about dependencies:

ldd {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{path/to/binary}}

Display unused direct dependencies:

ldd {{[-u|--unused]}} {{path/to/binary}}

Report missing data objects and perform data relocations:

ldd {{[-d|--data-relocs]}} {{path/to/binary}}

Report missing data objects and functions, and perform relocations for both:

ldd {{[-r|--function-relocs]}} {{path/to/binary}}
