: Does Linux have any support dynamically linked modules
: ( also known as DLL's in OS/2, Windows ) ?
An appropriate followup question : What is the difference
between a shared library and a dynamic linked library ?
Dynamic-libraries support getting a pointer to a function
by name. ie. foo() is a function in a library call MyLib.
void (f*)()
f = GetFunc("MyLib","_foo"); /* load library and get function */
(f*)(); /* call foo */
Can you do this with a shared library ?
