Shared Object (.so) File :-
56

7+
In simple words, a '.so' file on linux is what a 'dll' on windows.
8+
9+
It is a library that is linked to the executable but it is not embedded in the executable like static library (.a),
10+
so it will be loaded only when the executable is launched
11+
and need to be present in the system where the executable is deployed.
