-.TH ld.so 8 "14 March 1998"
-.SH NAME
-ld.so/ld-linux.so \- dynamic linker/loader
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B ld.so
-loads the shared libraries needed by a program, prepares the program
-to run, and then runs it.
-Unless explicitly specified via the
-.B \-static
-option to
-.B ld
-during compilation, all Linux programs are incomplete and require 
-further linking at run time.
-.PP
-The necessary shared libraries needed by the program are searched for 
-in the following order
-.IP o
-Using the environment variable
-.B LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-.RB ( LD_AOUT_LIBRARY_PATH
-for a.out programs).
-Except if the executable is a setuid/setgid binary, in which case it
-is ignored.
-.IP o
-From the cache file
-.BR /etc/ld.so.cache
-which contains a compiled list of candidate libraries previously found
-in the augmented library path.
-.IP o
-In the default path
-.BR /usr/lib ,
-and then
-.BR /lib .
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-.TP
-.B LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-A colon-separated list of directories in which to search for
-ELF libraries at execution-time.
-Similar to the 
-.B PATH
-environment variable.
-.TP
-.B LD_PRELOAD
-A whitespace-separated list of additional, user-specified, ELF shared 
-libraries to be loaded before all others.
-This can be used to selectively override functions in other shared libraries.
-For setuid/setgid ELF binaries, only libraries in the standard search
-directories that are also setgid will be loaded.
-.TP
-.B LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS
-If present, causes the program to list its dynamic library dependencies,
-as if run by ldd, instead of running normally.
-.TP
-.B LD_BIND_NOW
-If present, causes the dynamic linker to resolve all symbols at program
-startup instead of when they are first referenced.
-.TP
-.B LD_AOUT_LIBRARY_PATH
-A colon-separated list of directories in which to search for
-a.out libraries at execution-time.
-Similar to the 
-.B PATH
-environment variable.
-.TP
-.B LD_AOUT_PRELOAD
-The name of an additional, user-specified, a.out shared library to be loaded 
-after all others.
-This can be used to selectively override functions in other shared libraries.
-.TP
-.B LD_NOWARN
-Suppress warnings about a.out libraries with incompatible minor 
-version numbers.
-.TP
-.B LD_KEEPDIR
-Don't ignore the directory in the names of a.out libraries to be loaded.
-Use of this option is strongly discouraged.
