- dyn.load(libname)
-
- _A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:
-
- libname : a character string giving the pathname to a
- DLL.
-
- _V_a_l_u_e:
-
- This function is used for its side effect which links
- the specified shared library to the executing R image.
- Calls to .C and .Fortran can then be used to execute C
- functions or Fortran subroutines contained in the
- library.
-
- The creation of shared libraries the runtime linking of
- them into executing programs is very platform depen-
- dent. In recent years there has been some simplifica-
- tion in the process because the C subroutine call dlo-
- pen has become the standard for doing this under Unix.
- dyn.load uses the dlopen mechanism and should work on
- all platforms which support it.
-
- _N_o_t_e:
-
- The original code for loading DLLs in UNIX was provided
- by Heiner Schwarte. The compatibility code for HP-UX
- was provided by Luke Tierney.
-
- _S_e_e _A_l_s_o:
