+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
