Shared Library Management Routines

The dlopen Shared Library Management Routines

Parameters

Parameter

Definition

 

 

handle

Either the value returned by a call to dlopen or

 

the special flag RTLD_NEXT. In the former case,

 

the corresponding shared library must not have

 

been closed using dlclose.

 

 

name

The symbol's name as a character string.

 

 

Return Values

If handle does not refer to a valid shared library opened by dlopen, or if the named symbol cannot be found within any of the shared libraries associated with handle, dlsym returns NULL. The dlerror routine provides more detailed diagnostic information.

Description

dlsym allows a process to obtain the address of a symbol defined within a shared library previously opened by dlopen.

The dlsym routine searches for the named symbol in all shared libraries loaded automatically as a result of loading the shared library referenced by handle [see dlopen(3C)].

If handle is RTLD_NEXT, the search begins with the “next” shared library after the shared library from which dlsym was invoked. Shared libraries are searched using a load order symbol resolution algorithm [see dlopen(3C)]. The “next” shared library, and all other shared libraries searched, are either of global scope (because they were loaded at startup or as part of a dlopen operation with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag) or are shared libraries loaded by the same dlopen operation that loaded the caller of dlsym.

Usage

RTLD_NEXT can be used to navigate an intentionally created hierarchy of multiply defined symbols created through interposition. For example, if a program wished to create an implementation of malloc that embedded some statistics gathering about memory allocations, such an implementation could define its own malloc which would gather the
