def _max_glibc_requirement(lib_path: str) -> tuple[int, ...] | None:
    """
    Return the highest glibc version a shared library requires. Read statically
    without loading the library, so that a library built against a newer glibc
    than this process can be detected and skipped rather than loaded (which
    could crash the interpreter). Both numeric symbol versions (GLIBC_2.36) and
    the ABI tag GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR (introduced in 2.36) are used to infer glibc
    versions.

    Args:
        lib_path: the path to the shared library

    Returns:
        The highest glibc version the shared library requires, as a tuple
        (e.g. (2, 36)), or None if it cannot be read.
