Dynamic linking to libcurl on linux

If I'm creating code that dynamically links at runtime to libcurl, should I
pass "libcurl.so" or "libcurl.so.x" as the first argument to dlopen()? I'd
prefer "libcurl.so". Do standard linux installations of libcurl create a
symbolic link to the latest and greatest libcurl.so.x? I look forward to
hearing from you linux gurus.

 

Take care,

Jeff Phillips
