System.Posix.DynamicLinker

Description

Dynamic linker support through dlopen()

Synopsis

- module System.Posix.DynamicLinker.Prim
- dlopen :: FilePath -> [RTLDFlags] -> IO DL
- dlsym :: DL -> String -> IO (FunPtr a)
- dlerror :: IO String
- dlclose :: DL -> IO ()
- withDL :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> (DL -> IO a) -> IO a
- withDL_ :: String -> [RTLDFlags] -> (DL -> IO a) -> IO ()
- undl :: DL -> Ptr ()

# Documentation

module System.Posix.DynamicLinker.Prim

dlopen :: FilePath -> [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`
