Differences between LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD
 
Hello there, I would like to know what differences are between LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD environment variables. I know they are very similar, both are used by the linker.

Thanks In Advance

They control the order in which the system looks for symbols when loading and libraries. See the dlopen manpage for more.
