What Is a Version?
A version is part or all of an identifying version_string that can be associated with a shared object by using the -set_version version_string option to ld(1) when the shared object is created.
A version_string consists of one or more versions separated by colons (:). A single version has the form:
[comment#]sgimajor.minor
where:
- comment
- is a comment string, which is ignored by the versioning mechanism. It consists of any sequence of characters followed by a pound sign (#). The comment is optional.
- sgi
- is the literal string sgi.
- major
- is the major version number, which is a string of digits [0-9].
- .
- is a literal period.
- minor
- is the minor version number, which is a string of digits [0-9].
