dlfcn-win32 [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/dlfcn-win32/dlfcn-win32/branch/master) =========== dlfcn-win32 is an implementation of dlfcn for Windows. dlfcn is a set of functions that allows runtime dynamic library loading. It is standardized in the POSIX. Windows also provide similar routines, but not in a POSIX-compatible way. This library attempts to implement a wrapper around the Windows functions to make programs written for POSIX that use dlfcn work in Windows without any modifications. It follows the standard as described here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/dlfcn.h.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlerror.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlsym.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlclose.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlopen.html Using This Library ------------------ This library uses the Process Status API in Windows (`psapi.lib`). If you are linking to the static `dl.lib` or `libdl.a`, then you would need to explicitly add `psapi.lib` or `-lpsapi` to your linking command, depending on if MinGW is used.
