What Is an SO File?
A file with the .SOfile extensionis a shared library file.
Several programs can then call upon that file to use that feature in their own respective programs.
SO doesn’t just refer to a shared library file.
However, don’t confuse it with OS, which meansoperating system.
It’s unlikely, though, that the text will be in a human-readable format.
Still Can’t launch the File?
It might just share some common letters as that file extension.
