dynamic load librarys?
Author
Does anyone know how to create and use librarys that can be specified and loaded at run time like a windows .dll? The project I''m working on needs an expandability mechanism and I was thinking that just adding another library in the program directory and then loading it at run time would be the best. However I can''t find any info on how to do this in linux.
Thanks,
Rob

It''s kinda hard to get the man page for dlopen when I didn''t know the function name. And I can''t search linuxdoc.org if I never herd of it before your post! So lose the attitude it''s cost you your thanks for the help response!
Just a point to reassure clarity, if you just
want to use a library (at startup/link time) you
can just add a -l to the compiler, ie if you
wanted to load the math library (libm) you
would use the argument -lm (note the omitted lib prefix).
The kind of run time libraries used with dlopen() are
commonly used as plug-ins, this is a rare case and
only two of our game projects ever needed it.

My program is designed to be expandable with plugins so I need this functionality. Thanks.

And taking into account that I was probably in a bad mood that day.
