Question

How can I list all executables on my Red Hat Linux system which link to libssl? I can get close with:

find / -type f -perm /a+x -exec ldd {} \; | grep libssl   

ldd shows me which libraries the executable links with, but the line that contains the library name does not also show the filename, so although I get a lot of matches with grep, I can’t figure out how to back out the name of the executable from which the match occured. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

find / -type f -perm /a+x -print0 |
    while read -d $'\0' FILE; do
        ldd "$FILE" | grep -q libssl && echo "$FILE"
    done
