NAME
       libdl - dynamic linking library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldl [ library... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Historically, functions in libdl provided for dynamic linking support. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).

       This  library  is  maintained  to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is imple-
       mented as a filter on the runtime linker. See ld.so.1(1). New application development need not specify -ldl.

INTERFACES
       The shared object libdl.so.1 provides the following public interfaces. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.

       dladdr			     dladdr1
       dlclose			     dldump
       dlerror			     dlinfo
       dlmopen			     dlopen
       dlsym

FILES
       /lib/libdl.so.1	     shared object

       /lib/64/libdl.so.1    64-bit shared object
