ldd: Display all information about dependencies.
$ ldd --verbose ${path-to-binary}
try on your machine

The command "ldd" stands for "list dynamic dependencies". It is a Linux command used to display the shared libraries that a given executable or shared object file depends on.

The "--verbose" option is used to provide more detailed output, including additional information about the libraries.

"${path-to-binary}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the binary or shared object file for which you want to check the dynamic dependencies.

So, when you run the command "ldd --verbose ${path-to-binary}", it will display a list of shared libraries that the specified binary depends on, along with additional information such as library paths, versions, and addresses.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
