ldd: Report missing data objects and perform data relocations.
$ ldd --data-relocs ${path-to-binary}
try on your machine

The ldd command is used to display the shared libraries that a binary executable file depends on.

Here, --data-relocs is an option or flag used with the ldd command. This option instructs ldd to display the relocations associated with data symbols. Relocations are instructions to the linker to modify the binary's memory layout and adjust symbol addresses at runtime, allowing shared libraries to be loaded or relocated in memory.

${path-to-binary} represents the path to the binary executable file for which you want to check the dependencies and associated data relocations. You need to replace ${path-to-binary} with the actual path to the desired binary file.

By running this command, you will get a list of shared libraries that the binary depends on, along with any data relocations associated with these libraries.

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.
