You can find out information about the currently loaded file, its type, ELF segments, memory
addresses and other things. The following command displays such information about the
sum
program.
(gdb) info files
Symbols from "/home/rr/5/sum".

You can also display information about shared libraries used by the
sum
program using
the following command:
(gdb) info share
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x40047fa0 0x40140a9b Yes /lib/i686/libc.so.6
0x40001db0 0x4001321c Yes /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(gdb)
The command shows that the program is using
libc.so.6
and
ld-linux.so.2
dur-
ing the debug session. The
ld-linux.so
is the dynamic loader, and will always be present in
dynamically linked files.
