SYNOPSIS

       [flag ... ] file ...  [library] ...

DESCRIPTION

       is one of a family of routines that give the user direct access to the dynamic linking facilities (using the option on the compiler or com-
       mand line).  returns a null-terminated character string (with no trailing newline) that describes  the  last  error  that  occurred  during
       dynamic	linking  processing.  If  no dynamic linking errors have occurred since the last invocation of returns NULL. Thus, invoking second
       time, immediately following a prior invocation, results in NULL being returned.

MULTITHREAD USAGE
