What is the LD
I came across a reference to it recently on proggit and (as of now) it is not explained.
I suspect this might be it, but I don't know for sure.
If you set LD_PRELOAD
to the path of a shared object, that file will be loaded before any other library (including the C runtime, libc.so
). So to run ls
with your special malloc()
implementation, do this:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/my/malloc.so /bin/ls
You can override symbols in the stock libraries by creating a library with the same symbols and specifying the library in LD_PRELOAD
.
Some people use it to specify libraries in nonstandard locations, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is better for that purpose.
With LD_PRELOAD
you can give libraries precedence.
For example you can write a library which implement malloc
and free
. And by loading these with LD_PRELOAD
your malloc
and free
will be executed rather than the standard ones.
