Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static int	dlclose(long handle) Decrements the reference count on the dynamic library handle handle.
static java.lang.String	dlerror() Returns a human readable string describing the most recent error that occurred from DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int), DynamicLinkLoader.dlsym(long, java.nio.ByteBuffer) or DynamicLinkLoader.dlclose(long) since the last call to dlerror().
static long	dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer filename, int mode) Loads the dynamic library file named by the null-terminated string filename and returns an opaque "handle" for the dynamic library.
static long	dlopen(java.lang.CharSequence filename, int mode) Loads the dynamic library file named by the null-terminated string filename and returns an opaque "handle" for the dynamic library.
static long	dlsym(long handle, java.nio.ByteBuffer name) Takes a "handle" of a dynamic library returned by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) and the null-terminated symbol name, returning the address where that symbol is loaded into memory.
static long	dlsym(long handle, java.lang.CharSequence name) Takes a "handle" of a dynamic library returned by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) and the null-terminated symbol name, returning the address where that symbol is loaded into memory.

RTLD_DEEPBIND

public static final int RTLD_DEEPBIND

The mode argument to DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) contains one of the following.

Constant Field Values

RTLD_GLOBAL

public static final int RTLD_GLOBAL

If the following bit is set in the mode argument to DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int), the symbols of the loaded object and its dependencies are made visible as if the object were linked directly into the program.

Constant Field Values

RTLD_LOCAL

public static final int RTLD_LOCAL

Unix98 demands the following flag which is the inverse to DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_GLOBAL. The implementation does this by default and so we can define the value to zero.

RTLD_NODELETE

public static final int RTLD_NODELETE

Do not delete object when closed.

Method Detail

dlopen

public static long dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer filename,
                          int mode)

Loads the dynamic library file named by the null-terminated string filename and returns an opaque "handle" for the dynamic library. If filename is NULL, then the returned handle is for the main program.

Parameters:

filename - the name of the dynamic library to open, or NULL

mode - a bitfield. One or more of:

DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_LAZY	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NOW	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_BINDING_MASK	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NOLOAD	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_DEEPBIND	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_GLOBAL
DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_LOCAL	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NODELETE

dlopen

public static long dlopen(java.lang.CharSequence filename,
                          int mode)

Loads the dynamic library file named by the null-terminated string filename and returns an opaque "handle" for the dynamic library. If filename is NULL, then the returned handle is for the main program.

Parameters:

filename - the name of the dynamic library to open, or NULL

mode - a bitfield. One or more of:

DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_LAZY	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NOW	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_BINDING_MASK	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NOLOAD	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_DEEPBIND	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_GLOBAL
DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_LOCAL	DynamicLinkLoader.RTLD_NODELETE

dlerror

public static java.lang.String dlerror()

Returns a human readable string describing the most recent error that occurred from DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int), DynamicLinkLoader.dlsym(long, java.nio.ByteBuffer) or DynamicLinkLoader.dlclose(long) since the last call to dlerror(). It returns NULL if no errors have occurred since initialization or since it was last called.

dlsym

public static long dlsym(long handle,
                         java.nio.ByteBuffer name)

Takes a "handle" of a dynamic library returned by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) and the null-terminated symbol name, returning the address where that symbol is loaded into memory. If the symbol is not found, in the specified library or any of the libraries that were automatically loaded by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) when that library was loaded, dlsym() returns NULL.

Parameters:

handle - the dynamic library handle

name - the symbol name

dlsym

public static long dlsym(long handle,
                         java.lang.CharSequence name)

Takes a "handle" of a dynamic library returned by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) and the null-terminated symbol name, returning the address where that symbol is loaded into memory. If the symbol is not found, in the specified library or any of the libraries that were automatically loaded by DynamicLinkLoader.dlopen(java.nio.ByteBuffer, int) when that library was loaded, dlsym() returns NULL.

Parameters:

handle - the dynamic library handle

name - the symbol name

dlclose

public static int dlclose(long handle)

Decrements the reference count on the dynamic library handle handle. If the reference count drops to zero and no other loaded libraries use symbols in it, then the dynamic library is unloaded.

Parameters:

handle - the dynamic library to close
