Get the actual name of a library from its file

Clang Frontend
#1

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a function in Clang/LLVM which can get me the actual
name of a library from its file. For example, if I have a file called
"libtest.so.1.0.1", I'd like to get "test". You can think of it as the
name of the library required for passing to a linker.

Regards,

libtest.so.1.0.1 should not be used directly. Instead create a symbol link to it (named libtest.so) and then pass -ltest to linker.

In this case the library is input by my users, not me. I must be able to
handle any name.
