Description

dlopen(3) and friends Derived from GModule.chs by M.Weber & M.Chakravarty which is part of c2hs. I left the API more or less the same, mostly the flags are different.

Synopsis

c_dlopen :: CString -> CInt -> IO (Ptr ())
c_dlsym :: Ptr () -> CString -> IO (FunPtr a)
c_dlerror :: IO CString
c_dlclose :: Ptr () -> IO CInt
haveRtldNext :: Bool
haveRtldLocal :: Bool
packRTLDFlags :: [RTLDFlags] -> CInt
data RTLDFlags
- = RTLD_LAZY
- | RTLD_NOW
- | RTLD_GLOBAL
- | RTLD_LOCAL
packDL :: DL -> Ptr ()
data DL
- = Null
- | Next
- | Default
- | DLHandle (Ptr ())

c_dlopen :: CString -> CInt -> IO (Ptr ()) Source #

c_dlsym :: Ptr () -> CString -> IO (FunPtr a) Source #

c_dlerror :: IO CString Source #

c_dlclose :: Ptr () -> IO CInt Source #

haveRtldNext :: Bool Source #

On some hosts (e.g. SuSe and Ubuntu Linux) RTLD_NEXT (and RTLD_DEFAULT) are not visible without setting the macro _GNU_SOURCE. Since we don't want to define this macro, you can use the function haveRtldNext to check wether the flag Next is available. Ideally, this will be optimized by the compiler so that it should be as efficient as an #ifdef.

If you fail to test the flag and use it although it is undefined, packDL will throw an error.

haveRtldLocal :: Bool Source #

Deprecated: defaults to True

packRTLDFlags :: [RTLDFlags] -> CInt Source #

data RTLDFlags Source #

Flags for dlopen.

Constructors

RTLD_LAZY
RTLD_NOW
RTLD_GLOBAL
RTLD_LOCAL

packDL :: DL -> Ptr () Source #

data DL Source #

Flags for dlsym. Notice that Next might not be available on your particular platform! Use haveRtldNext.

If RTLD_DEFAULT is not defined on your platform, packDL Default reduces to nullPtr.
