Aha. Well, the "date" command loooks up the time. What libraries does it access? [~]borg*> ldd /bin/date linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffc3b5b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f1976012000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f197622f000) So that's where the libc library .so lives. I was going to suggest the "nm" command, which should access the symbol tables of object files (including executables and library files). But it doesn't work on my Linux box here.
