method
dlopen
ruby latest stable - Class:
Fiddle
dlopen(library)private
Creates a new handler that opens library, and returns an instance of Fiddle::Handle.
If nil is given for the library, Fiddle::Handle::DEFAULT is used, which is the equivalent to RTLD_DEFAULT. See man 3 dlopen for more.
lib = Fiddle .dlopen (nil)
The default is dependent on OS, and provide a handle for all libraries already loaded. For example, in most cases you can use this to access libc functions, or ruby functions like rb_str_new.
See Fiddle::Handle.new for more.
