+
+<p>On some platforms, a dynamic loader (e.g. <samp>ld.so</samp>) runs in the
+same process as your application to manage libraries. In this case,
+<small>GDB</small> can use the loader&rsquo;s symbol table and normal memory
+operations to maintain a list of shared libraries. On other
+platforms, the operating system manages loaded libraries.
+<small>GDB</small> can not retrieve the list of currently loaded libraries
+through memory operations, so it uses the &lsquo;<samp>qXfer:libraries:read</samp>&rsquo;
+packet (see <a href="General-Query-Packets.html#qXfer-library-list-read">qXfer library list read</a>) instead. The remote stub
+queries the target&rsquo;s operating system and reports which libraries
+are loaded.
+</p>
+<p>The &lsquo;<samp>qXfer:libraries:read</samp>&rsquo; packet returns an XML document which
+lists loaded libraries and their offsets. Each library has an
+associated name and one or more segment or section base addresses,
+which report where the library was loaded in memory.
+</p>
+<p>For the common case of libraries that are fully linked binaries, the
+library should have a list of segments. If the target supports
+dynamic linking of a relocatable object file, its library XML element
+should instead include a list of allocated sections. The segment or
+section bases are start addresses, not relocation offsets; they do not
+depend on the library&rsquo;s link-time base addresses.
+</p>
+<p><small>GDB</small> must be linked with the Expat library to support XML
+library lists. See <a href="Requirements.html#Expat">Expat</a>.
+</p>
+<p>A simple memory map, with one loaded library relocated by a single
+offset, looks like this:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">&lt;library-list&gt;
+ &lt;library name=&quot;/lib/libc.so.6&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;segment address=&quot;0x10000000&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;/library&gt;
+&lt;/library-list&gt;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Another simple memory map, with one loaded library with three
+allocated sections (.text, .data, .bss), looks like this:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">&lt;library-list&gt;
+ &lt;library name=&quot;sharedlib.o&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;section address=&quot;0x10000000&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;section address=&quot;0x20000000&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;section address=&quot;0x30000000&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;/library&gt;
+&lt;/library-list&gt;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>The format of a library list is described by this DTD:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">&lt;!-- library-list: Root element with versioning --&gt;
+&lt;!ELEMENT library-list (library)*&gt;
+&lt;!ATTLIST library-list version CDATA #FIXED &quot;1.0&quot;&gt;
+&lt;!ELEMENT library (segment*, section*)&gt;
+&lt;!ATTLIST library name CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
+&lt;!ELEMENT segment EMPTY&gt;
+&lt;!ATTLIST segment address CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
+&lt;!ELEMENT section EMPTY&gt;
+&lt;!ATTLIST section address CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>In addition, segments and section descriptors cannot be mixed within a
+single library element, and you must supply at least one segment or
+section for each library.
