Well, the exec part is component the other is that dladdr is used to locate where a library was loaded from. Again, for the command path argv[0] clearly tells you where the command got executed from. If I am not mistaken the command execution portion should be also in the U area or some clever location for the ps to be able to display it. My wild guess is that ld.so should keep an internal table of start - end address plus path of library . The dladdr should be a simple exercise to locate the address range where a variable lies in. If we don't want to implement dladdr if the table is accessible to the program we can do the library lookup 8) Cheers, Amanciohome | help
