Hi, Is there any Python API equivalent of getting information about shared libraries through the `info sharedlibrary` command? If not, is there any chance that this gets added? I know there is `gdb.objfiles()` but it seems it goes over all object files [0] and does not really provide as much information as the `info sharedlibrary` command [1]. In our plugin we try to figure out the exact path of the glibc library and we want to support all possible use cases (gdb, gdbserver, LD_PRELOAD, gdbstub from QEMU-user etc.). Of course this will always be a heuristic since we can never know if a libc.so is actually a libc and so on. We are currently parsing the output of the `info sharedlibrary` command but this gets more and more complicated which is not great... [2].
