 Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 6:25 pm Post subject: What libs for what bins? |
 |
|
I am looking for a way to check which files in /usr/lib (or wherever) are called by which programs. I have set up a tempfs in RAM and I only want certain apps/libs there to save space. Say I wanted to check which libs belong to /usr/bin/firefox, is there a command I can issue to find this?
Thanks in advance. |

Mind you that ldd is an itterative process. If you want anything more that a case by case, by hand tooled method, you've got lots of bash to learn, and need helper programs like uniq to build a "hit list." sed and awk loom in your future too.
Of course, such a script would be of great interest to the community. |
