A sample project which creates a shared object (.so) library on linux using Rust programming language and calls it's function from another rust program.
Shared Object (.so) File :-
In simple words, a '.so' file on linux is what a 'dll' on windows.
It is a library that is linked to the executable but it is not embedded inside executable like static library (.a), so it will be loaded only when the executable is loaded.
For System Requirements please refer 'Application_Requirements.txt'
