For OpenEXR, they are referred to as additional utilities. The prefix "exr" in their names does not appear in any of the libs. $ rpm -ql OpenEXR-libs /usr/lib/libHalf.so.4 /usr/lib/libHalf.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libIex.so.4 /usr/lib/libIex.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libIlmImf.so.4 /usr/lib/libIlmImf.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libIlmThread.so.4 /usr/lib/libIlmThread.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libImath.so.4 /usr/lib/libImath.so.4.0.0 $ grep -i exr /usr/lib/libHalf.so.4 $ grep -i exr /usr/lib/libIex.so.4 $ grep -i exr /usr/lib/libIlmImf.so.4 Binary file /usr/lib/libIlmImf.so.4 matches $ grep -i exr /usr/lib/libIlmThread.so.4 $ grep -i exr /usr/lib/libImath.so.4 $ $ strings /usr/lib/libIlmImf.so.4|grep -i exr _ZN3Imf13isOpenExrFileEPKcRb _ZN3Imf18isTiledOpenExrFileEPKc _ZN3Imf13isOpenExrFileEPKc _ZN3Imf13isOpenExrFileERNS_7IStreamERb _ZN3Imf18isTiledOpenExrFileERNS_7IStreamE _ZN3Imf13isOpenExrFileERNS_7IStreamE -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
