Name

ldd - list dynamic dependencies

Synopsis

$ ldd [-r] [-f] <path>

Description

ldd prints all dependency libraries of an ELF object.

Options

  • -f, --force-without-valid-interpreter: Force library resolving on ELF object without a valid interpreter
  • -r, --max-recursion: Max library resolving recursion

Arguments

  • path: Path to ELF object

Security

In contrast to other OS implementations, the ldd binary is completely safe for usage on untrusted binaries - we only use the LibELF code for doing library resolving, and the actual binary interpreter (when specified) is never called to decode the dependency information.

Examples

# List all dependency libraries for libc.so
$ ldd -f /usr/lib/libc.so
# List all dependency libraries for /bin/id
$ ldd /bin/id
# List all dependency libraries for /bin/WindowServer
$ ldd /bin/WindowServer
