.I /etc/ld.so.preload
File containing a whitespace-separated list of ELF shared objects to
be loaded before the program.
See the discussion of
.BR LD_PRELOAD
above.
If both
.BR LD_PRELOAD
and
.I /etc/ld.so.preload
are employed, the libraries specified by
.BR LD_PRELOAD
are preloaded first.
.I /etc/ld.so.preload
has a system-wide effect,
causing the specified libraries to be preloaded for
all programs that are executed on the system.
(This is usually undesirable,
and is typically employed only as an emergency remedy, for example,
as a temporary workaround to a library misconfiguration issue.)
