Getting the version number of .so files !!

[abc73]

Hi,
Can any anyone tell me how can we get the version number of .so files in unix. Like in Windows if we right click on on a .DLL file the properties window gives all the information. Is there any utility in unix which behaves like that and gives me the version number and other information about .so file. Any help appreciated. Thanks

ls -la shows me on linux, to which library a link points, and ldd shows depencies i.e.:

ls -la /usr/lib/libz.so

lrwxrwxrwx ... /usr/lib/libz.so-> /usr/lib/libz.so.1
 
ldd /usr/lib/libz.so

So libz is of version 1
version 9.7.16 will be libz.so.9.7.16 and so on...
