sorry for the long lines, but it would't be very readable otherwise
:)

$ locate libbfd | xargs ls -ld
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       632951 Apr 10 15:18 /usr/lib/libbfd-2.12.so

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 10 15:24 /usr/lib/libbfd.so -> libbfd-2.12.so

$ locate bfd.h | xargs ls -ld
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       134077 Apr 10 15:18 /usr/include/bfd.h
