ldd - list dynamic dependencies
$ ldd [-r] [-f] <path>
ldd
prints all dependency libraries of an ELF object.
-f
, --force-without-valid-interpreter
: Force library resolving on ELF object without a valid interpreter-r
, --max-recursion
: Max library resolving recursionpath
: Path to ELF objectIn 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.
