DLCLOSE(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual DLCLOSE(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
dlclose - close a dlopen object
SYNOPSIS
#include <dlfcn.h>
int dlclose(void *handle);
DESCRIPTION
The dlclose() function shall 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 implementa-
tion, 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 refer-
enced object shall also be closed if this is the last reference to it.
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 shall 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, shall be undone or remade unless the object requiring the relocation has itself been removed.
RETURN VALUE
If the referenced object was successfully closed, dlclose() shall return 0. If the object could not be closed, or if handle does not refer
to an open object, dlclose() shall return a non-zero value. More detailed diagnostic information shall be available through dlerror().
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates use of dlopen() and dlclose():
...
/* Open a dynamic library and then close it ... */
#include <dlfcn.h>
void *mylib;
int eret;
mylib = dlopen("mylib.so", RTLD_LOCAL | RTLD_LAZY);
...
eret = dlclose(mylib);
...
APPLICATION USAGE
A conforming application should employ a handle returned from a dlopen() invocation only within a given scope bracketed by the dlopen() and
dlclose() operations. Implementations are free to use reference counting or other techniques such that multiple calls to dlopen() referenc-
ing the same object may return the same object for handle. Implementations are also free to reuse a handle. For these reasons, the value
of a handle must be treated as an opaque object by the application, used only in calls to dlsym() and dlclose().
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
