Can anyone explain me the use of symbolic links to libraries. Suppose there is a library libicuio.so.34.0. There will be two symbolic links to it: libicuio.so and libicuio.so.34. What is the use of these two symbolic links.

Versioning, see Library-related_Commands_and_Files#Naming_conventions.--Jor 10:47, Dec 2, 2005 (EST)
