+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 4.10.0, major version, e. g. 4, and a generic name, e. g.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; libxxx.so. The last two are usually symlinked to the first.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The major version usually signals an ABI difference or some other
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; major difference, e. g. new function, from the previous version.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The actual version changes whenever any change is made. Developers
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; use the major version if their code is dependent on that major
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; version, but just use the generic name if any version will do.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; In this way, the majority of packages using the library just ask
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; for libxxx.so, and don't have to be rebuilt or have their makefiles
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; or spec modified when the library changes. A few packages, which
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; are dependent on a specific version, ask for libxxx.so.N (or
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; higher), and these have to be changed when the major version they
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; require is released. A very very few packages are dependent on the
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; actual version, and these may have to change more often.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I assume the starred ones are actually in use - what's the
+</I>&gt;<i> significance of '@'? I'm not sure I've really understood this.

+it's just bash that adds this:
