SYNOPSIS

#include <dlfcn.h>

DESCRIPTION

The <dlfcn.h> header defines at least the following macros for use in the construction of a dlopen() mode argument:

RTLD_LAZY

Relocations are performed at an implementation-dependent time.

RTLD_NOW

Relocations are performed when the object is loaded.

RTLD_GLOBAL

All symbols are available for relocation processing of other modules.

RTLD_LOCAL

All symbols are not made available for relocation processing by other modules.

The header <dlfcn.h> declares the following functions which may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler.

void  *dlopen(const char *, int);
void  *dlsym(void *, const char *);
int    dlclose(void *);
char  *dlerror(void);
