What is *.so.16 file?
 
Dear All,
When I build POCO C++ libraries, It generated *.so.16 with the same name *.so in the lib directory.
I want to know what different between *.so and *.so.16?
I use diff to compare these two files,there are no differents between them,
what does *.so.16 used for?

Thanks

It's versioning. Typically the *.so file would be a symbolic link though.
