#### Live process .so module mapper & ELF shared library dependency viewer

Shared Library Inspector is a desktop Linux shared object (.so) process module viewer,
recursive ELF dynamic dependency resolver, and exported symbol table inspector.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by ListDLLs and ldd/readelf workflows, it
combines live /proc/<pid>/maps memory-mapped module inspection with safe static ELF
DT\_NEEDED dependency resolution and .dynsym symbol browsing.

Key Features:

* Live Process Loaded .so Modules: Parses readable /proc/<pid>/maps tables to list
  loaded shared libraries (.so), virtual address ranges, r-xp/r--p/rw-p permissions,
  mapped byte sizes, inodes, and on-disk SHA-256 digests per process or system-wide.
* Recursive ELF Dependency Resolver: Safely parses PT\_INTERP, DT\_NEEDED, DT\_SONAME,
  DT\_RPATH, and DT\_RUNPATH headers without executing target binaries, resolving full
  transitive .so trees across /etc/ld.so.conf.d and standard multiarch library paths.
* Dynamic Symbol & GNU Version Table: Inspects exported and imported .dynsym functions
  and objects alongside GLIBC / library symbol version requirements (.gnu.version\_r / .gnu.version\_d).
* Multi-Format Developer Reports: Exports loaded module maps, dependency closures, and
  symbol tables to structured CSV and JSON files.
