+If an application that uses liblttng-ust.so becomes part of a session,

+.PP
+.IP "ust_baddr_statedump:soinfo"
+This event is used to trace a currently loaded shared object. The base address
+(where the dynamic linker has placed the shared object) is recorded in the
+baddr-field. The path to the shared object gets recorded in the sopath-field
+(as string). The file size of the loaded object (in bytes) is recorded to the
+size-field and its time of last modification (in seconds since Epoch) is
+recorded in the mtime-field.
+.PP
+If the event above is enabled, a series of ust_baddr_statedump:soinfo events is
+recorded at session-enable time, that represents the state of currently loaded
+shared objects (of the traced application). If this information gets combined
+with the lttng-ust-dl(3) instrumentation, all aspects of dynamic loading that
+are relevant for symbol and linenumber-lookup are traced by LTTng.
