/* The dlfcn.h header defines at least the following macros for use in the
* construction of a dlopen() mode argument:
*
* RTLD_LAZY - Relocations are performed at an implementation-dependent
* time, ranging from the time of the dlopen() call until
* the first reference to a given symbol occurs. Specifying
* RTLD_LAZY should improve performance on implementations
* supporting dynamic symbol binding as a process may not
* reference all of the functions in any given object. And,
* for systems supporting dynamic symbol resolution for
* normal process execution, this behaviour mimics the
* normal handling of process execution.
* RTLD_NOW - All necessary relocations are performed when the object
* is first loaded. This may waste some processing if
* relocations are performed for functions that are never
* referenced. This behaviour may be useful for
* applications that need to know as soon as an object is
* loaded that all symbols referenced during execution will
* be available.
*
* Any object loaded by dlopen() that requires relocations against global
* symbols can reference the symbols in the original process image file,
* any objects loaded at program startup, from the object itself as well as
* any other object included in the same dlopen() invocation, and any
* objects that were loaded in any dlopen() invocation and which specified
* the RTLD_GLOBAL flag. To determine the scope of visibility for the
* symbols loaded with a dlopen() invocation, the mode parameter should be
* bitwise or'ed with one of the following values:
*
* RTLD_GLOBAL - The object's symbols are made available for the
* relocation processing of any other object. In addition,
* symbol lookup using dlopen(0, mode) and an associated
* dlsym() allows objects loaded with this mode to be
* searched.
* RTLD_LOCAL - All symbols are not made available for relocation
* processing by other modules.

/****************************************************************************
* Name: dlopen
*
* Description:
* dlopen() makes an executable object file specified by file available to
* the calling program. The class of files eligible for this operation and
* the manner of their construction are specified by the implementation,
* though typically such files are executable objects such as shared
* libraries, relocatable files or programs. Note that some implementations
* permit the construction of dependencies between such objects that are
* embedded within files. In such cases, a dlopen() operation will load
* such dependencies in addition to the object referenced by file.
* Implementations may also impose specific constraints on the construction
* of programs that can employ dlopen() and its related services.
*
* If a file is specified in multiple dlopen() invocations, mode is
* interpreted at each invocation. Note, however, that once RTLD_NOW has
* been specified all relocations will have been completed rendering
* further RTLD_NOW operations redundant and any further RTLD_LAZY
* operations irrelevant. Similarly note that once RTLD_GLOBAL has been
* specified the object will maintain the RTLD_GLOBAL status regardless
* of any previous or future specification of RTLD_LOCAL, so long as the
* object remains in the address space (see dlclose()).
*
* Symbols introduced into a program through calls to dlopen() may be
* used in relocation activities. Symbols so introduced may duplicate
* symbols already defined by the program or previous dlopen()
* operations. To resolve the ambiguities such a situation might
* present, the resolution of a symbol reference to symbol definition is
* based on a symbol resolution order. Two such resolution orders are
* defined: load or dependency ordering. Load order establishes an
* ordering among symbol definitions, such that the definition first
* loaded (including definitions from the image file and any dependent
* objects loaded with it) has priority over objects added later (via
* dlopen()). Load ordering is used in relocation processing. Dependency
* ordering uses a breadth-first order starting with a given object,
* then all of its dependencies, then any dependents of those, iterating
* until all dependencies are satisfied. With the exception of the global
* symbol object obtained via a dlopen() operation on a file of 0,
* dependency ordering is used by the dlsym() function. Load ordering is
* used in dlsym() operations upon the global symbol object.
*
* When an object is first made accessible via dlopen() it and its
* dependent objects are added in dependency order. Once all the objects
* are added, relocations are performed using load order. Note that if an
* object or its dependencies had been previously loaded, the load and
* dependency orders may yield different resolutions.
*
* The symbols introduced by dlopen() operations, and available through
* dlsym() are at a minimum those which are exported as symbols of global
* scope by the object. Typically such symbols will be those that were
* specified in (for example) C source code as having extern linkage. The
* precise manner in which an implementation constructs the set of
* exported symbols for a dlopen() object is specified by that
* implementation.
*
* Input Parameters:
* file - Used to construct a pathname to the object file. If file
* contains a slash character, the file argument is used as the
* pathname for the file. Otherwise, file is used in an
* implementation-dependent manner to yield a pathname.
*
* If the value of file is 0, dlopen() provides a handle on a
* global symbol object. This object provides access to the symbols
* from an ordered set of objects consisting of the original
* program image file, together with any objects loaded at program
* startup as specified by that process image file (for example,
* shared libraries), and the set of objects loaded using a
* dlopen() operation together with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag. As the
* latter set of objects can change during execution, the set
* identified by handle can also change dynamically.
*
* Only a single copy of an object file is brought into the address
* space, even if dlopen() is invoked multiple times in reference
* to the file, and even if different pathnames are used to
* reference the file.
* mode - Describes how dlopen() will operate upon file with respect to
* the processing of relocations and the scope of visibility of the
* symbols provided within file. When an object is brought into the
* address space of a process, it may contain references to symbols
* whose addresses are not known until the object is loaded. These
* references must be relocated before the symbols can be accessed.
* The mode parameter governs when these relocations take place.
* See definitions above for values of the mode parameter:.
*
* Returned Value:
* A successful dlopen() returns a handle which the caller may use on
* subsequent calls to dlsym() and dlclose(). The value of this handle
* should not be interpreted in any way by the caller.
*
* If file cannot be found, cannot be opened for reading, is not of an
* appropriate object format for processing by dlopen(), or if an error
* occurs during the process of loading file or relocating its symbolic
* references, dlopen() will return NULL. More detailed diagnostic
* information will be available through dlerror().

* Description:

* released via a call to dlclose()), name is the symbol's name as a

*
* dlsym() will search for the named symbol in all objects loaded

* dependency order as described in dlopen().
*
* Input Parameters:
* handle - The opaque, non-NULL value returned by a previous successful
* call to dlopen().
* name - A pointer to the symbol name string.
*
* Returned Value:
* If handle does not refer to a valid object opened by dlopen(), or if

/****************************************************************************
* Name: dlclose
*
* Description:
* dlclose() is used to inform the system that the object referenced by a
* handle returned from a previous dlopen() invocation is no longer needed
* by the application.
*
* The use of dlclose() reflects a statement of intent on the part of the
* process, but does not create any requirement upon the implementation,
* such as removal of the code or symbols referenced by handle. Once an
* object has been closed using dlclose() an application should assume
* that its symbols are no longer available to dlsym(). All objects loaded
* automatically as a result of invoking dlopen() on the referenced object
* are also closed.
*
* Although a dlclose() operation is not required to remove structures
* from an address space, neither is an implementation prohibited from
* doing so. The only restriction on such a removal is that no object will
* be removed to which references have been relocated, until or unless all
* such references are removed. For instance, an object that had been
* loaded with a dlopen() operation specifying the RTLD_GLOBAL flag might
* provide a target for dynamic relocations performed in the processing of
* other objects - in such environments, an application may assume that no
* relocation, once made, will be undone or remade unless the object
* requiring the relocation has itself been removed.
*
* Input Parameters:
* handle - The opaque, non-NULL value returned by a previous successful
* call to dlopen().
*
* Returned Value:
* If the referenced object was successfully closed, dlclose() returns 0.
* If the object could not be closed, or if handle does not refer to an
* open object, dlclose() returns a non-zero value. More detailed
* diagnostic information will be available through dlerror().
