+
+ A dylib name can take one of the following four forms:
+
+ * ``Location/Name.SomeVersion_Suffix.dylib``
+
+ * ``Location/Name.SomeVersion.dylib``
+
+ * ``Location/Name_Suffix.dylib``
+
+ * ``Location/Name.dylib``
+
+ Returns None if not found or a mapping equivalent to::
+
+ dict(
+ location='Location',
+ name='Name.SomeVersion_Suffix.dylib',
+ shortname='Name',
+ version='SomeVersion',
+ suffix='Suffix',
+ )
+
+ .. note:: *SomeVersion* and *Suffix* are optional and my be ``None``
+ if not present.
