if I want to print the library version from a program I cannot simply
current:revision:age
because that does not correspond to the actual lib file name, e.g.,
2:0:1 corresponds to mylib.so.1.1.0...
is it correct to print 2:0:1 or 1.1.0?
What do your users need the data for?
If this is for purely informational purposes, then it probably doesn't
even matter what you print. If you need it for a technical reason,
well, I would like to understand that use case then.
I just wanted to print this version information together with a
program's version information just to show which version of a library
the program is using...
