I'm trying to resolve the following problem: My code runs on Windows and on Linux. I need to know the path from where the currently running .dll (.so) was loaded, so that I can also find the path to some satellite files I need. On Windows I use:

char buffer[1024];
GetModuleFileName(GetModuleHandle("MyLibrary.dll"), buffer, MAX_PATH);

What would be the equivalent code on Linux?

I found something, that may point in the right direction here: [library path when dynamically loaded?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1681060/library-path-when-dynamically-loaded) – πάντα ῥεῖ Jan 07 '15 at 10:14
How about command `ldd`? – Kir Chou Jan 07 '15 at 10:23
