Detailed Description

Library represents a shared-library.

To load a shared-library, just instantiate this class with a shared-library-name. The class is copyable. The library is unloaded (with dlclose) when the last reference is deleted.

Member Function Documentation

void open ( const char * name )

loads a shared library. If the class references already another library the reference is decremented and unloaded, if the class was the last reference.

void close ( )

unloads the library if some is referenced. Does nothing, if no library was referenced.
