ldd
Explanation
The command that shows all shared libraries required by a binary executable or another shared library is ldd.
This command queries the dynamic linker to find out which libraries are needed by the given file and displays them on the standard output. For example, to see the shared libraries required by the /bin/ls program, we can run:
ldd /bin/ls
The output will look something like this:
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd8a7f6000)libselinux.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007f0c5a6c4000)libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f0c5a4d3000)libpcre2-8.so.0 =>
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007f0c5a445000)libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f0c5a441000)/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f0c5a8a5000)libpthread.so.0 =>
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f0c5a41e000)
The output shows the name and the path of each shared library, as well as the address where it is loaded in memory. If the library is not found, the output will show not found instead of the path. The linux-vdso.so.1 library is a special case, as it is a virtual library that is not actually present on the filesystem, but is injected by the kernel into every process12.
