libclntsh.so.10.1 is a shared library that provides the client-side network communication layer for Oracle databases. It handles the connection establishment, data transmission, and reception between the client application (in this case, adadmin) and the Oracle database server. The '.10.1' suffix indicates a specific version of the Oracle client library.
