Shared library handling
libuv provides cross platform utilities for loading shared libraries and
retrieving symbols from them, using the following API.
Data types
-
uv_lib_t
Shared library data type.
API
-
int
uv_dlopen
(const char* filename, uv_lib_t* lib)
Opens a shared library. The filename is in utf-8. Returns 0 on success and
-1 on error. Call uv_dlerror()
to get the error message.
-
void
uv_dlclose
(uv_lib_t* lib)
Close the shared library.
-
int
uv_dlsym
(uv_lib_t* lib, const char* name, void** ptr)
Retrieves a data pointer from a dynamic library. It is legal for a symbol
to map to NULL. Returns 0 on success and -1 if the symbol was not found.
-
const char*
uv_dlerror
(const uv_lib_t* lib)
Returns the last uv_dlopen() or uv_dlsym() error message.
