Hi,

I was reading http://abicheck.sourceforge.net/intro.html, and I was wonderi=
ng
why FreeBSD doesn't keep the double digits for dynamic libraries (eg
=2Eso.1.2 instead of .so.1). Is there an online reference to a discussion
about that somewhere?

Furthermore, is the mechanism to record public symbols between library
releases, as described in the URL above, also used in FreeBSD?

I'm referring to the

PUBLIC_2: {
	symbol1, symbol2
} PUBLIC_1;

versioning, which somehow should be in the .so. I can't find it with objdump
and friends.

"...I like logs. They give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I've been known to keep
logs for 30 months at a time (generally when I thought I was rotating them
daily, but was actually rotating them once a month)."
