hi, untill now i was thinking ld-linux.so.2 is a interpreter(linker) which is required at runtime when any command like "ls" is executed on command line. then this linker will search for various libraries and prepares the executable for running(execution) but /lib/ld-linux.so.2 can be executed at the command line with any executable as the argument. like [root@kahan]# /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/ls will show all the list of files in the CWD.so I want to know whats happening behind this. genarally when we run command only 'ls' at command line first the binary for 'ls' is loaded and then interpreter(linker) is loaded which then dynamically loads libraries. but what will happen when we run as shown above. also i will be happy if anybody can tell me any URL where i can see how this ld-linux.so works. i tried all man pages, but not satisfied.
