+.B LD_AUDIT
+(glibc since 2.4)
+A colon-separated list of user-specified, ELF shared objects
+to be loaded before all others in a separate linker namespace
+(i.e., one that does not intrude upon the normal symbol bindings that
+would occur in the process).
+These libraries can be used to audit the operation of the dynamic linker.
+.B LD_AUDIT
+is ignored for set-user-ID/set-group-ID binaries.
+
+The dynamic linker will notify the audit
+libraries at so-called auditing checkpoints\(emfor example,
+loading a new library, resolving a symbol,
+or calling a symbol from another shared object\(emby
+calling an appropriate function within the audit library.
+For details, see
+.BR rtld-audit (7).
+The auditing interface is largely compatible with that provided on Solaris,
+as described in its
+.IR "Linker and Libraries Guide" ,
+in the chapter
+.IR "Runtime Linker Auditing Interface" .
