Naming conventions for shared libraries in Linux

Hello, I'm wondering what is the naming conventions for *.so shared libraries in linux. For example, a library in /lib, say libcrypt-2.7.so has a symbolic link called libcrypt.so.1 pointing to it, yet libncursesw.so.5.6 has a symbolic link called libncursesw.so.5 pointing to it. What is the...

Loaded Shared Libraries

pldd

PLDD(1) 							 Linux User Manual							   PLDD(1)

NAME

       pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process

SYNOPSIS

       pldd pid
       pldd option

DESCRIPTION

       The  pldd  command  displays a list of the dynamic shared objects that are linked into the process with the specified process ID.  The list
       includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using dlopen(3).

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Display program help message.

       --usage
	      Display a short usage message.

       -V, --version
	      Display the program version.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, pldd exits with the status 0.  If the specified process does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
       shared  object  list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd exists with a status of 1.  If given an invalid option, it exits with
       the status 64.

VERSIONS

       pldd is available since glibc 2.15.

CONFORMING TO

       The pldd command is not specified by POSIX.1.  Some other systems have a similar command.

NOTES

       The command

	   lsof -p PID

       also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects that are linked into a process.

       The gdb(1) info shared command also shows the shared libraries being used by a process, so that one can obtain similar output to pldd using
       a command such as the following (to monitor the process with the specified pid):

	   $ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared" 
		   -ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'

BUGS

       Since glibc 2.19, pldd is broken: it just hangs when executed.  It is unclear if it will ever be fixed.

EXAMPLE

       $ echo $$	       # Display PID of shell
       1143
       $ pldd $$	       # Display DSOs linked into the shell
       1143:	 /usr/bin/bash
       linux-vdso.so.1
       /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
       /lib64/libdl.so.2
       /lib64/libc.so.6
       /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
       /lib64/libnss_files.so.2
