closeDynamicLib()

void closeDynamicLib

(

void *

moduleHandle

)

Closes a dynamic library.

This function closes a previously loaded dynamic library and releases associated resources.

Parameters

moduleHandle

The handle to the loaded dynamic library.

getDlError()

const char * getDlError

(

void

)

Retrieves the last dynamic library error message.

This function returns a string describing the last error that occurred during a dynamic library operation.

Returns

A string describing the last error, or nullptr if no error occurred.

getFunctionDynamicLib()

void * getFunctionDynamicLib	(	void *	moduleHandle,
		const char *	name
	)

Retrieves a function or symbol from a dynamic library.

This function retrieves the address of a function or symbol from a loaded dynamic library using its handle and the symbol's name.

Parameters

moduleHandle	The handle to the loaded dynamic library.
name	The name of the function or symbol to retrieve.

Returns

A pointer to the function or symbol, or nullptr if an error occurs.

openDynamicLib()

void * openDynamicLib

(

const char *

path

)

Opens a dynamic library.

This function loads a dynamic library from the specified path and returns a handle to the loaded library.

Parameters

path	The file path to the dynamic library.

Returns
