I have generated a pointer for an Android app using ceserver. It produced a result like this: (somemodule.so.1 + offset). It functions correctly, but I would like to understand what somemodule.so.1 represents since the game only has somemodule.so. Using cheat engine, I can obtain the addresses of both somemodule.so and somemodule.so.1. However, the issue lies with proc/pid/maps; I can't locate this so.1.

The file named `libfoo.so` is typically a symlink to the latest version of the library.

/proc/[pid]/maps displays the full name fine for me:
