- dlopen :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> IO DL
- dlsym :: DL -> String -> IO (FunPtr a)
- dlerror :: IO String
- dlclose :: DL -> IO ()

- undl :: DL -> Ptr ()

# Documentation

module System.Posix.DynamicLinker.Prim

dlopen :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> IO DL

dlsym :: DL -> String -> IO (FunPtr a)

`dlsym` returns the address binding of the symbol described in `symbol`, as it occurs in the shared object identified by `source`.

dlerror :: IO String

dlclose :: DL -> IO ()

withDL :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> (DL -> IO a) -> IO a

withDL_ :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> (DL -> IO a) -> IO ()

undl :: DL -> Ptr ()

`undl` obtains the raw handle. You mustn't do something like `withDL mod flags $ liftM undl >>= p -> use p`
