ldd as a tree.

From libtree 3.1.1-r4 (os), captured 2026-11-05 by running libtree --help (exit 0). permalink

Show the dynamic dependency tree of ELF files
Usage: libtree [OPTION]... [--] FILE [FILES]...

  -h, --help     Print help info
      --version  Print version info

File names starting with '-', for example '-.so', can be specified as follows:
  libtree -- -.so

Locating libs options:
  -p, --path       Show the path of libraries instead of the soname
  -v               Show libraries skipped by default*
  -vv              Show dependencies of libraries skipped by default*
  -vvv             Show dependencies of already encountered libraries
  --ldconf <path>  Config file for extra search paths [/etc/ld.so.conf]
  --max-depth <n>  Limit library traversal to at most n levels of depth

* For brevity, the following libraries are not shown by default:
  ld-linux-aarch64.so, ld-linux-armhf.so, ld-linux-x86-64.so,
  ld-linux.so, ld64.so, libc.musl-aarch64.so, libc.musl-armhf.so,
  libc.musl-i386.so, libc.musl-x86_64.so, libc.so, libdl.so, libgcc_s.so, libm.so,
  libstdc++.so.

The following rpath/runpath substitutions are used:
  PLATFORM       x86_64
  LIB            lib
  OSNAME         Linux
  OSREL          6.18.60-r0-gcp-6.18
