pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process

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

       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).

       $ echo$$               # Display PID of shell
       1143
       $ pldd$$               # Display DSOs linked into the shell
       1143:   /usr/bin/bash
       linux-vdso.so.1
       /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
       /lib64/libdl.so.2
       /lib64/libc.so.6
       /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
       /lib64/libnss_files.so.2

       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
       exists with a status of 1.  If given an invalid option, it exits with the status 64.

       glibc 2.15.

       The command

           lsof -p PID

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

       The gdb(1) infoshared 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
       specified pid):

           $ gdb-ex"setconfirmoff"-ex"setheight0"-ex"infoshared"\-ex"quit"-p$pid|grep'^0x.*0x'

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

       --usage
              Display a short usage message and exit.

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