.SH NAME
ld.so, ld-linux.so* \- dynamic linker/loader
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ld-linux.so*
handles ELF (\fI/lib/ld-linux.so.1\fP for libc5, \fI/lib/ld-linux.so.2\fP
for glibc2), which everybody has been using for years now.

.LP
-The shared libraries needed by the program are searched for
-in the following order:
+When resolving library dependencies,
+the dynamic linker first inspects each dependency
+string to see if it contains a slash (this can occur if
+a library pathname containing slashes was specified at link time).
+If a slash is found, then the dependency string is interpreted as
+a (relative or absolute) pathname,
+and the library is loaded using that pathname.
+.LP
+If a library dependency does not contain a slash,
+then it is searched for in the following order:

+.I lib64
+depending on the architecture
+(e.g., on x86-64, it expands to
+.IR lib64
+and
+on x86-32, it expands to
+.IR lib ).
+.TP
+.IR $PLATFORM " (or equivalently " ${PLATFORM} )
+This expands to a string corresponding to the processor type
+of the host system (e.g., "x86_64").
+On some architectures, the Linux kernel doesn't provide a platform
+string to the dynamic linker.
+The value of this string is taken from the
+.BR AT_PLATFORM
+value in the auxiliary vector (see
+.BR getauxval (3)).
+.\" To get an idea of the places that $PLATFORM would match,

.SH ENVIRONMENT
-There are four important environment variables.
+Among the more important environment variables are the following:
+.TP
+.B LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+(glibc since 2.2.3)
+Each shared library can inform the dynamic linker of the minimum kernel ABI
+version that it requires.
+(This requirement is encoded in an ELF note section that is viewable via
+.IR "readelf\ \-n"
+as a section labeled
+.BR NT_GNU_ABI_TAG .)
+At run time,
+the dynamic linker determines the ABI version of the running kernel and
+will reject loading shared libraries that specify minimum ABI versions
+that exceed that ABI version.
+
+.BR LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+can be used to
+cause the dynamic linker to assume that it is running on a system with
+a different kernel ABI version.
+For example, the following command line causes the
+dynamic linker to assume it is running on Linux 2.2.5 when loading
+the shared libraries required by
+.IR myprog :
+
+.in +4n
+.nf
+$ \fBLD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ./myprog\fP
+.fi
+.in
+
+On systems that provide multiple versions of a shared library
+(in different directories in the search path) that have
+different minimum kernel ABI version requirements,
+.BR LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+can be used to select the version of the library that is used
+(dependent on the directory search order).
+Historically, the most common use of the
+.BR LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+feature was to manually select the older
+LinuxThreads POSIX threads implementation on systems that provided both
+LinuxThreads and NPTL
+(which latter was typically the default on such systems);
+see
+.BR pthreads (7).
+.TP
+.B LD_BIND_NOT
+(glibc since 2.2)
+Don't update the Global Offset Table (GOT) and Procedure Linkage Table (PLT)
+when resolving a symbol.
.TP
.B LD_BIND_NOW
(libc5; glibc since 2.1.1)
Similar to the
.B PATH
environment variable.
+Ignored in set-user-ID and set-group-ID programs.
.TP
.B LD_PRELOAD
-A whitespace-separated list of additional, user-specified, ELF shared
+A list of additional, user-specified, ELF shared
libraries to be loaded before all others.
+The items of the list can be separated by spaces or colons.
This can be used to selectively override functions in other shared libraries.
+The libraries are searched for using the rules given under DESCRIPTION.
For set-user-ID/set-group-ID ELF binaries,
-only libraries in the standard search
-directories that are also set-user-ID will be loaded.
+preload pathnames containing slashes are ignored,
+and libraries in the standard search directories are loaded
+only if the set-user-ID permission bit is enabled on the library file.
.TP
.B LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS
(ELF only)
.TP
.B LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT
(glibc since 2.1)
-File where
+File in which
.B LD_DEBUG
-output should be fed into, default is standard output.
+output should be written.
+The default is standard error.
.B LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT
is ignored for set-user-ID/set-group-ID binaries.
.TP
.TP
.B LD_PROFILE
(glibc since 2.1)
-Shared object to be profiled,
+The name of a (single) shared object to be profiled,
specified either as a pathname or a soname.
-Profiling output is written to the file whose name is:
+Profiling output is appended to the file whose name is:
