lddtree is much faster, but libtree has more detailed info.

If you want something fast, note that (https://github.com/haampie/libtree-in-c) is currently faster than ldd:

    libtree-in-c $ make CC=musl-gcc CFLAGS="-Os -s -static"
    musl-gcc -Os -s -static -c libtree.c
    musl-gcc -Os -s -static -o libtree libtree.o

    libtree-in-c $ hyperfine 'ldd libLLVM.so' './libtree ./libLLVM.so'
    Benchmark #1: ldd libLLVM.so
    Time (mean ± σ):       6.1 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 5.2 ms, System: 1.2 ms]
    Range (min … max):     5.3 ms …   8.1 ms    348 runs

    Benchmark #2: ./libtree ./libLLVM.so
    Time (mean ± σ):       2.4 ms ±   0.4 ms    [User: 1.2 ms, System: 1.2 ms]
    Range (min … max):     1.7 ms …   3.4 ms    840 runs

    Warning: Command took less than 5 ms to complete. Results might be inaccurate.
    
    Summary
    './libtree ./libLLVM.so' ran
        2.54 ± 0.43 times faster than 'ldd libLLVM.so'
