ldd(1)

NAME
     ldd - Shows run-time DSO dependencies

SYNOPSIS
     ldd [-D] [-a rldargs] object

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems

DESCRIPTION:
     The runtime dynamic linker loads the object (an executable or DSO) and
     all of the libraries reporting what libraries were loaded.  But does
     not execute the program or DSO.

     This is to make it easy to detect what libraries are loaded by an
     executable without having to run it.

     Options:

     -a rldargs
          Sets the environment variable _RLD_ARGS to the string rldargs
          before executing the runtime linker (rld).

     -D   Does not on delay-loaded DSOs.

NOTES
     ldd will not report on libraries opened using dlopen(3C).

     Unless the -D option is specified, ldd will report on delay-loaded
     libraries.  If the -D option is not specified, ldd may show messages
     other than those it would show during normal execution, since the
     order of DSO loading and symbol resolution is necessarily different.

     ldd honors the _RLD*_PATH environment variables for use in testing ldd
     and rld.  If the appropriate _RLD*_PATH is pointing to an rld, not an
     rld.debug, ldd will not do anything useful.

     There is a -x option used to debug ldd that is not normally useful.
