LIBDL(3LIB) Interface Libraries LIBDL(3LIB)

NAME

libdl - dynamic linking library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -ldl [ library... ]

DESCRIPTION

Historically, functions in libdl provided for dynamic linking
support. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).


This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both
runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is
implemented as a filter on the runtime linker. See ld.so.1(1). New
application development need not specify -ldl.

INTERFACES

The shared object libdl.so.1 provides the following public
interfaces. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object
interfaces.


dladdr dladdr1
dlclose dldump
dlerror dlinfo
dlmopen dlopen
dlsym

FILES

/lib/libdl.so.1
