+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dlinfo
+.Nd information about a dynamically loaded object
+.Sh LIBRARY
+(These functions are not in a library.
+They are included in every
+dynamically linked program automatically.)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In link.h
+.In dlfcn.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn dlinfo "void *handle" "int request" "void *p"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn dlinfo
+function provides information about a dynamically loaded object.
+The action taken by
+.Fn dlinfo
+and exact meaning and type of
+.Fa p
+argument depend on value of the
+.Fa request
+argument provided by caller.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa handle
+argument is either the value returned from the
+.Xr dlopen 3
+function call or special handle
+.Dv RTLD_SELF .
+If
+.Fa handle
+is the value returned from
+.Xr dlopen 3 ,
+the information returned by the
+.Fn dlinfo
+function pertains to the specified object.
+If
+.Fa handle
+is the special handle
+.Dv RTLD_SELF ,
+the information returned pertains to the caller itself.
+.Pp
+Possible values for the
+.Fa request
+argument are:
+.Bl -tag -width "Dv RTLD_"
+.It Dv RTLD_DI_LINKMAP
+Retrieve the pointer to the
+.Vt Link_map
+for the specified
+.Fa handle .
+On successful return, the
+.Fa p
+argument is filled with the pointer to the
+.Vt Link_map
+structure
+.Pq Fa "Link_map **p"
+describing a shared object specified by the
+.Fa handle
+argument.
+The
+.Vt Link_map
+structures are maintained as a doubly linked list by
+.Xr ld.so 1 ,
+in the same order as
+.Xr dlopen 3
+and
+.Xr dlclose 3
+are called.
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt Link_map
+structure is defined in
+.In link.h
+and has the following members:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+caddr_t l_addr; /* Base Address of library */
+#ifdef __mips__
+caddr_t l_offs; /* Load Offset of library */
+#endif
+const char *l_name; /* Absolute Path to Library */
+void *l_ld; /* Pointer to .dynamic in memory */
+struct link_map *l_next, /* linked list of mapped libs */
+ *l_prev;
+.Ed
+.Bl -tag -width Va
+.It Va l_addr
+The base address of the object loaded into memory.
+.It Va l_name
+The absolute pathname of the loaded shared object.
+.It Va l_ld
+The address of the dynamic linking information segment
+.Pq Dv PT_DYNAMIC
+loaded into memory.
+.It Va l_next
+The next
+.Vt Link_map
+structure on the link-map list.
+.It Va l_prev
+The previous
+.Vt Link_map
+structure on the link-map list.
+.El
+.\" .It Dv RTLD_DI_SERINFO
+.\" Retrieve the library search paths associated with the given
+.\" .Fa handle
+.\" argument.
+.\" The
+.\" .Fa p
+.\" argument should point to
+.\" .Vt Dl_serinfo
+.\" structure buffer
+.\" .Pq Fa "Dl_serinfo *p" .
+.\" The
+.\" .Vt Dl_serinfo
+.\" structure must be initialized first with the
+.\" .Dv RTLD_DI_SERINFOSIZE

+.\" .Pp
+.\" The returned
+.\" .Vt Dl_serinfo
+.\" structure contains
+.\" .Va dls_cnt
+.\" .Vt Dl_serpath
+.\" entries.
+.\" Each entry's
+.\" .Va dlp_name
+.\" field points to the search path.
+.\" The corresponding
+.\" .Va dlp_info
+.\" field contains one of more flags indicating the origin of the path (see the

+.\" .Vt Dl_serinfo
+.\" buffer required to hold
+.\" .Va dls_cnt
+.\" .Vt Dl_serpath
+.\" entries and the associated search path strings.
+.\" See
+.\" .Sx EXAMPLES ,
+.\" example 2, for a usage example.
+.\" .It Va RTLD_DI_ORIGIN
+.\" Retrieve the origin of the dynamic object associated with the handle.
+.\" On successful return,

+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn dlinfo
+function returns 0 on success, or \-1 if an error occurred.
+Whenever an error has been detected, a message detailing it can
+be retrieved via a call to
+.Xr dlerror 3 .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Using
+.Fn dlinfo
+to retrieve
+.Vt Link_map
+structure.
+.Pp
+The following example shows how dynamic library can detect the list
+of shared libraries loaded after caller's one.
+For simplicity, error checking has been omitted.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+Link_map *map;
+
+dlinfo(RTLD_SELF, RTLD_DI_LINKMAP, &map);
+
+while (map != NULL) {
+ printf("%p: %s\\n", map->l_addr, map->l_name);
+ map = map->l_next;
