ldd-arm

Small helper to list ELF shared-library dependencies for Android/ARM binaries.

Usage

• Install: run

  echo 'readelf -d $1 | grep "(NEEDED)" | sed -r "s/.[(.)]/\1/"' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/ldd-arm sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ldd-arm

• Run: ldd-arm <library.so>

Description

• ldd-arm extracts the DT_NEEDED entries from an ELF shared object using readelf and prints the dependent .so names. It's a quick tool for dependency discovery when working with proprietary Android libraries.

Notes

• Origin: this tool was found on public Russian forums; no claim of authorship is made here.
• Keep this workflow as an aid — review dependencies before reusing libraries in builds.
