Is there any way to read the content of a .SO(shared objects) file without loading it?
My use-case scenario is:
Note: I can easily do these things on DLL. Also I am working on windows so I can't load a .SO file.
Thanks

Instead, they're just placed in an appropriate folder and used automatically by other programs via Linux's dynamic link loader. However, you might be able to read the SO file as a text file by opening it in a text editor like Leafpad, gedit, KWrite, or Geany if you're on Linux, or Notepad++ on Windows.
An . so file is a binary file used as a native library on Android. Normally it's a part of an Android application. If you want to see its content, you need to open it as a binary file in a binary (hex) viewer.
An SO file is a shared library used by programs installed on the Linux and Android operating systems. It contains common program functions and logic that multiple programs require access to.
To screen: readelf -a <file>
To save the output, dump it into a file. For example, I'm learning about the Python RPi.GPIO module on Raspberry Pi, which is stored in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/RPi, so I run:
readelf -a GPIO.so > ~/gpio.so.out
