The manpage for nm says:

  -A  Prints the full pathname or library name of an object on each line.
      This is useful for using the grep command to check through nm listings
      of libraries.

When I tried 'nm -A <file>' it puts <file> on each line of output,
but does not show any shared libs.  Also, nm on a stripped object
reports an error, but I should be able to get shared lib info on
a stripped file.  Any other ideas on how to get a list of shared libs ?


Thanks,
Dave

ASAP Customer code: 905047.

The quickest way to get a list of shared libraries needed by an executable
is to use the command "odump -Dl"

For example:

fluid.mro.dec.com> which xterm
/usr/bin/X11/xterm
fluid.mro.dec.com> odump -Dl /usr/bin/X11/xterm
