-------

``--print-shlibs``

``--typelib-version``
    The version of each *NAMESPACE* to inspect.
    For example, the version of ``Gio-2.0.typelib`` is ``2.0``.
    If not specified, use the newest available version if there is more

On Linux, the ``Gio-2.0`` typelib is implemented by ``libgio-2.0.so.0``::

    $ gi-inspect-typelib --typelib-version 2.0 --print-shlibs Gio
    shlib: libgio-2.0.so.0

and it depends on GObject-2.0, GLib-2.0 and GModule-2.0::

    $ gi-inspect-typelib --typelib-version 2.0 --print-typelibs Gio
    typelib: GObject-2.0

    typelib: GModule-2.0
