lddot (graphically display shared library dependencies)

lddot is a wrapper over ldd, which produces output in Graphviz format.

Although not strictly required for lddot to run, it's *highly* recommended
to install graphviz and/or graph-easy. One of these will be required to
convert lddot's output into a visible graph.

Examples:

# Replace "boxart" with "ascii" if your terminal doesn't support Unicode.
lddot /bin/bash | graph-easy --as boxart

# This looks like the Death Star.
lddot /usr/bin/xterm | circo -Tpng > graph.png
