What is the method for checking the dependencies of a .so file in Linux?
In Linux, you can view the dependencies of shared objects (.so files) using the following methods:
- To use the ldd command: ldd command can list the shared libraries that an executable file or shared object relies on. The command format is as follows:
- Show library dependencies for
. - For example, to view the shared libraries that /usr/lib/libexample.so depends on, you can execute:
- Show the dependencies for the library libexample.so located in /usr/lib.
- Use the objdump command: The objdump command can display information about target files (including shared objects), including their dependencies on shared libraries. The command format is as follows:
- Display detailed information from the binary file using the objdump command.
- For example, you can run the command to see the shared libraries that /usr/lib/libexample.so depends on:
- Display information about /usr/lib/libexample.so using objdump.
With the above method, you can view the other shared libraries that a shared object (.so file) depends on.
