pldd(1)                     General Commands Manual                    pldd(1)

NAME
       pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process

SYNOPSIS
       pldd pid
       pldd option

DESCRIPTION
       The  pldd  command displays a list of the dynamic shared objects (DSOs)
       that are linked into the process with the specified process  ID  (PID).
       The list includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using
       dlopen(3).

OPTIONS
       -?, --help
              Display a help message and exit.

       --usage
              Display a short usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
              Display program version information and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, pldd exits with the status 0.   If  the  specified  process
       does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
       shared object list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd ex-
       ists with a status of 1.  If given an invalid option, it exits with the
       status 64.

VERSIONS
       Some other systems have a similar command.

STANDARDS
       None.

HISTORY
       glibc 2.15.

NOTES
       The command

           lsof -p PID

       also shows output that includes the dynamic  shared  objects  that  are
       linked into a process.

       The  gdb(1)  info  shared command also shows the shared libraries being
       used by a process, so that one can obtain similar output to pldd  using
       a command such as the following (to monitor the process with the speci-
       fied pid):

           $ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared" \
                   -ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'

BUGS
       From glibc 2.19 to glibc 2.29, pldd was broken: it just hung when  exe-
       cuted.   This  problem  was  fixed  in glibc 2.30, and the fix has been
       backported to earlier glibc versions in some distributions.

EXAMPLES
       $ echo $$               # Display PID of shell
       1143
       $ pldd $$               # Display DSOs linked into the shell
       1143:   /usr/bin/bash
