Does ldd show all recursive dependencies
<p>Suppose I have a A.so file whose dependencies are found from ldd</p>

<pre><code>#ldd A
[...]
libxml2.so.2 =&gt; /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007faaf9722000)
libxyz.so.49 =&gt; /usr/lib64/libxyz.so.49 (0x00007faaf5689000)
</code></pre>

<p>Now does this mean that with the presence of libxml2.so.2 and libxyz.so.49 everything is set for me to use A.so. How about if libxyz.so.49 internally has a dependency on some libabc.so.2. </p>

<p>I want to clarify if that was so will libabc.so.2 get listed when dependency of A.so is found from ldd or will that be not reflected? If not then how can I find all inter-dependencies? Can a missing inter-dependency down the chain with a call going to it and absence of the same result into core/crash?</p>
