+.SH NAME
+pldd \- display dynamic shared objects linked into a process
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BI "pldd " "pid"
+.BI pldd " option"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B 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
+.BR dlopen (3).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-\-help
+.TQ
+.B \-?
+Display a help message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-usage
+Display a short usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+.TQ
+.B \-V
+Display program version information and exit.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+On success,
+.B 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,
+.B pldd
+exists with a status of 1.
+If given an invalid option, it exits with the status 64.
+.SH VERSIONS
+Some other systems
+.\" There are man pages on Solaris and HP-UX.
+have a similar command.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH HISTORY
+glibc 2.15.
+.SH NOTES
+The command
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+lsof \-p PID
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects
+that are linked into a process.
+.P
+The
+.BR gdb (1)
+.I "info shared"
+command also shows the shared libraries being used by a process,
+so that one can obtain similar output to
+.B pldd
+using a command such as the following
+(to monitor the process with the specified
+.IR pid ):

+.SH BUGS
+From glibc 2.19 to glibc 2.29,
+.B pldd
+was broken: it just hung when executed.
+.\" glibc commit 1a4c27355e146b6d8cc6487b998462c7fdd1048f
+This problem was fixed in glibc 2.30, and the fix has been backported
+to earlier glibc versions in some distributions.
