//! 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) and use functions & global variables contained within the libraries. //! //! `libloading` crate exposes a cross-platform interface to load a library and utilize its //! contents, but little is done to paper over the differences in behaviour between different //! platforms. The API documentation strives to document such differences on the best-effort basis. //! //! Platform specific APIs are also available in the [`os`](crate::os) module. These APIs are more //! flexible but less safe. //! //! # Usage //! //! Add a dependency on this library to your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! libloading = "0.7" //! ``` //! //! Then inside your code: //! //! ```no_run //! fn call_dynamic() -> Result<u32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> { //! unsafe { //! let lib = libloading::Library::new("/path/to/liblibrary.so")?; //! let func: libloading::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 class of issues. #![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. /// /// # Safety /// /// When a library is loaded initialization routines contained within the library are executed. /// For the purposes of safety, execution of these routines is conceptually the same calling an /// unknown foreign function and may impose arbitrary requirements on the caller for the call /// to be sound. /// /// Additionally, the callers of this function must also ensure that execution of the /// termination routines contained within the library is safe as well.
