//! A memory-safer wrapper around system dynamic library loading primitives. //! //! Using this library allows loading [dynamic libraries](struct.Library.html) (also known as //! shared libraries) as well as use functions and static variables these libraries contain. //! //! While the library does expose a cross-platform interface to load a library and find stuff //! inside it, little is done to paper over the platform differences, especially where library //! loading is involved. The documentation for each function will attempt to document such //! differences on the best-effort basis. //! //! Less safe, platform specific bindings are also available. See the //! [`os::platform`](os/index.html) module for details. //! //! # Usage //! //! Add a dependency on this library to your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! libloading = "0.6" //! ``` //! //! Then inside your project //! //! ```no_run //! extern crate libloading as lib; //! //! fn call_dynamic() -> Result<u32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> { //! let lib = lib::Library::new("/path/to/liblibrary.so")?; //! unsafe { //! let func: lib::Symbol<unsafe extern fn() -> u32> = lib.get(b"my_func")?; //! Ok(func()) //! } //! } //! ``` //! //! The compiler will ensure that the loaded `function` will not outlive the `Library` it comes //! from, preventing a common cause of undefined behaviour and memory safety problems. #![deny( missing_docs, clippy::all, unreachable_pub, unused, )] #![cfg_attr(docsrs, deny(broken_intra_doc_links))] #![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))] use std::env::consts::{DLL_PREFIX, DLL_SUFFIX}; use std::ffi::{OsStr, OsString}; use std::fmt; use std::ops; use std::marker; #[cfg(unix)] use self::os::unix as imp; #[cfg(windows)] use self::os::windows as imp; pub use self::error::Error; pub mod os; pub mod changelog; mod util; mod error; /// A loaded dynamic library. pub struct Library(imp::Library); impl Library { /// Find and load a dynamic library. /// /// The `filename` argument may be any of: /// /// * A library filename; /// * Absolute path to the library; /// * Relative (to the current working directory) path to the library. /// /// # Thread-safety /// /// The implementation strives to be as MT-safe as sanely possible, however due to certain /// error-handling related resources not always being safe, this library is not MT-safe either. /// /// * On Windows Vista and earlier error handling falls back to [`SetErrorMode`], which is not /// MT-safe.
