Some reading for you:

As Ljubomir said, libasync_wmi_lib.so.0 will be a symlink to
libasync_wmi_lib.so.0.0.1. You can use objdump to find the soname(s) for
shared objects, e.g:
objdump -p /path/to/libasync_wmi_lib.so.0.0.1 | grep SONAME
or just run ldconfig against them and observe what symlinks are created.
