SYNOPSIS

#include <dlfcn.h>
void * dlopen (const char *path int mode);
void * dlsym (void * restrict handle const char * restrict symbol);
dlfunc_t dlfunc (void * restrict handle const char * restrict symbol);
const char * dlerror (void);
int dlclose (void *handle);

DESCRIPTION

These functions provide a simple programmatic interface to the services of the dynamic linker. Operations are provided to add new shared objects to a program's address space, to obtain the address bindings of symbols defined by such objects, and to remove such objects when their use is no longer required.

The dlopen ();
function provides access to the shared object in Fa path , returning a descriptor that can be used for later references to the object in calls to dlsym ();
and dlclose (.);
If Fa path was not in the address space prior to the call to dlopen (,);
it is placed in the address space. When an object is first loaded into the address space in this way, its function _init (,);
if any, is called by the dynamic linker. If Fa path has already been placed in the address space in a previous call to dlopen (,);
it is not added a second time, although a reference count of dlopen ();
operations on Fa path is maintained. A null pointer supplied for Fa path is interpreted as a reference to the main executable of the process. The Fa mode argument controls the way in which external function references from the loaded object are bound to their referents. It must contain one of the following values, possibly ORed with additional flags which will be described subsequently:

RTLD_LAZY: Each external function reference is resolved when the function is first called.
RTLD_NOW: All external function references are bound immediately by dlopen (.);

RTLD_LAZY is normally preferred, for reasons of efficiency. However, RTLD_NOW is useful to ensure that any undefined symbols are discovered during the call to dlopen (.);

One of the following flags may be ORed into the Fa mode argument:

RTLD_GLOBAL: Symbols from this shared object and its directed acyclic graph (DAG) of needed objects will be available for resolving undefined references from all other shared objects.
RTLD_LOCAL: Symbols in this shared object and its DAG of needed objects will be available for resolving undefined references only from other objects in the same DAG. This is the default, but it may be specified explicitly with this flag.
RTLD_TRACE: When set, causes dynamic linker to exit after loading all objects needed by this shared object and printing a summary which includes the absolute pathnames of all objects, to standard output. With this flag dlopen ();
will return to the caller only in the case of error.

If dlopen ();
fails, it returns a null pointer, and sets an error condition which may be interrogated with dlerror (.);

The dlsym ();
function returns the address binding of the symbol described in the null-terminated character string Fa symbol , as it occurs in the shared object identified by Fa handle . The symbols exported by objects added to the address space by dlopen ();
can be accessed only through calls to dlsym (.);
Such symbols do not supersede any definition of those symbols already present in the address space when the object is loaded, nor are they available to satisfy normal dynamic linking references.

If dlsym ();
is called with the special Fa handle NULL it is interpreted as a reference to the executable or shared object from which the call is being made. Thus a shared object can reference its own symbols.

If dlsym ();
is called with the special Fa handle RTLD_DEFAULT the search for the symbol follows the algorithm used for resolving undefined symbols when objects are loaded. The objects searched are as follows, in the given order:

The referencing object itself (or the object from which the call to dlsym ();
is made), if that object was linked using the -Wsymbolic option to ld(1).
All objects loaded at program start-up.
All objects loaded via dlopen ();
with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag set in the Fa mode argument.
All objects loaded via dlopen ();
which are in needed-object DAGs that also contain the referencing object.

If dlsym ();
is called with the special Fa handle RTLD_NEXT then the search for the symbol is limited to the shared objects which were loaded after the one issuing the call to dlsym (.);
Thus, if the function is called from the main program, all the shared libraries are searched. If it is called from a shared library, all subsequent shared libraries are searched. RTLD_NEXT is useful for implementing wrappers around library functions. For example, a wrapper function getpid ();
could access the ``real'' getpid ();
with dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, getpid) (Actually, the dlfunc ();
interface, below, should be used, since getpid ();
is a function and not a data object.)

If dlsym ();
is called with the special Fa handle RTLD_SELF then the search for the symbol is limited to the shared object issuing the call to dlsym ();
and those shared objects which were loaded after it.

The dlsym ();
function returns a null pointer if the symbol cannot be found, and sets an error condition which may be queried with dlerror (.);

The dlfunc ();
function implements all of the behavior of dlsym (,);
but has a return type which can be cast to a function pointer without triggering compiler diagnostics. (The dlsym ();
function returns a data pointer; in the C standard, conversions between data and function pointer types are undefined. Some compilers and lint(1) utilities warn about such casts.) The precise return type of dlfunc ();
is unspecified; applications must cast it to an appropriate function pointer type.

The dlerror ();
function returns a null-terminated character string describing the last error that occurred during a call to dlopen (,);
dladdr (,);
dlinfo (,);
dlsym (,);
dlfunc (,);
or dlclose (.);
If no such error has occurred, dlerror ();
returns a null pointer. At each call to dlerror (,);
the error indication is reset. Thus in the case of two calls to dlerror (,);
where the second call follows the first immediately, the second call will always return a null pointer.

The dlclose ();
function deletes a reference to the shared object referenced by Fa handle . If the reference count drops to 0, the object is removed from the address space, and Fa handle is rendered invalid. Just before removing a shared object in this way, the dynamic linker calls the object's _fini ();
function, if such a function is defined by the object. If dlclose ();
is successful, it returns a value of 0. Otherwise it returns -1, and sets an error condition that can be interrogated with dlerror (.);

The object-intrinsic functions _init ();
and _fini ();
are called with no arguments, and are not expected to return values.

NOTES

ELF executables need to be linked using the -export-dynamic option to ld(1) for symbols defined in the executable to become visible to dlsym (.);

In previous implementations, it was necessary to prepend an underscore to all external symbols in order to gain symbol compatibility with object code compiled from the C language. This is still the case when using the (obsolete) -aout option to the C language compiler.

ERRORS

The dlopen (,);
dlsym (,);
and dlfunc ();
functions return a null pointer in the event of errors. The dlclose ();
function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred. Whenever an error has been detected, a message detailing it can be retrieved via a call to dlerror (.);
