getldd - script to recursively extract all the shared libraries of an elf executable

getldd.sh

#!/bin/sh
# usage: ./getldd mybinary
#   will hard copy all the shared libs to
DEPS=/tmp/deps.txt

getldd() {
        for i in $(ldd $1 | grep / | xargs echo) ; do
                test -r "$i" && realpath "$i" && getldd $i
        done
}

realpath $1 > $DEPS
getldd $1 | sort -u >> $DEPS

cat<<EOF
All the deps:
######
$(cat $DEPS)
######
To copy all the deps, do something like:

for i in \$(cat $DEPS) ; do mkdir -p /tmp/mydest/\$(dirname \$i) && cp -va \$i /tmp/mydest/\$i ; done
EOF

modified script to use the absolute filename.

Also included the binary on the command line as part of the list of dependencies to simplify the output logic.
