51 * @title: Dynamic Loading of Modules
52 * @short_description: portable method for dynamically loading 'plug-ins'
54 * These functions provide a portable way to dynamically load object files
55 * (commonly known as 'plug-ins'). The current implementation supports all
56 * systems that provide an implementation of dlopen() (e.g. Linux/Sun), as
57 * well as Windows platforms via DLLs.
59 * A program which wants to use these functions must be linked to the
60 * libraries output by the command `pkg-config --libs gmodule-2.0`.
62 * To use them you must first determine whether dynamic loading
63 * is supported on the platform by calling g_module_supported().
64 * If it is, you can open a module with g_module_open(),
65 * find the module's symbols (e.g. function names) with g_module_symbol(),
66 * and later close the module with g_module_close().
67 * g_module_name() will return the file name of a currently opened module.
69 * If any of the above functions fail, the error status can be found with
72 * The #GModule implementation features reference counting for opened modules,
73 * and supports hook functions within a module which are called when the
74 * module is loaded and unloaded (see #GModuleCheckInit and #GModuleUnload).
76 * If your module introduces static data to common subsystems in the running
77 * program, e.g. through calling
78 * `g_quark_from_static_string ("my-module-stuff")`,
79 * it must ensure that it is never unloaded, by calling g_module_make_resident().
81 * Example: Calling a function defined in a GModule
82 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
83 * // the function signature for 'say_hello'
84 * typedef void (* SayHelloFunc) (const char *message);
87 * just_say_hello (const char *filename, GError **error)
89 * SayHelloFunc say_hello;
92 * module = g_module_open (filename, G_MODULE_BIND_LAZY);
95 * g_set_error (error, FOO_ERROR, FOO_ERROR_BLAH,
96 * "%s", g_module_error ());
100 * if (!g_module_symbol (module, "say_hello", (gpointer *)&say_hello))
102 * g_set_error (error, SAY_ERROR, SAY_ERROR_OPEN,
103 * "%s: %s", filename, g_module_error ());
104 * if (!g_module_close (module))
105 * g_warning ("%s: %s", filename, g_module_error ());
109 * if (say_hello == NULL)
111 * g_set_error (error, SAY_ERROR, SAY_ERROR_OPEN,
112 * "symbol say_hello is NULL");
113 * if (!g_module_close (module))
114 * g_warning ("%s: %s", filename, g_module_error ());
118 * // call our function in the module
119 * say_hello ("Hello world!");
121 * if (!g_module_close (module))
122 * g_warning ("%s: %s", filename, g_module_error ());
131 * The #GModule struct is an opaque data structure to represent a
132 * [dynamically-loaded module][glib-Dynamic-Loading-of-Modules].
133 * It should only be accessed via the following functions.
138 * @module: the #GModule corresponding to the module which has just been loaded
140 * Specifies the type of the module initialization function.
141 * If a module contains a function named g_module_check_init() it is called
142 * automatically when the module is loaded. It is passed the #GModule structure
143 * and should return %NULL on success or a string describing the initialization
146 * Returns: %NULL on success, or a string describing the initialization error
151 * @module: the #GModule about to be unloaded
153 * Specifies the type of the module function called when it is unloaded.
154 * If a module contains a function named g_module_unload() it is called
155 * automatically when the module is unloaded.
156 * It is passed the #GModule structure.
162 * Expands to the proper shared library suffix for the current platform
163 * without the leading dot. For most Unices and Linux this is "so", and
164 * for Windows this is "dll".
170 * Used to declare functions exported by modules. This is a no-op on Linux
171 * and Unices, but when compiling for Windows, it marks a symbol to be
172 * exported from the library or executable being built.
178 * Used to declare functions imported from modules.
181 /* We maintain a list of modules, so we can reference count them.
182 * That's needed because some platforms don't support references counts on
183 * modules. Also, the module for the program itself is kept seperately for
184 * faster access and because it has special semantics.

897 * @module_name: the name of the module
899 * A portable way to build the filename of a module. The platform-specific
900 * prefix and suffix are added to the filename, if needed, and the result
901 * is added to the directory, using the correct separator character.
903 * The directory should specify the directory where the module can be found.
904 * It can be %NULL or an empty string to indicate that the module is in a
905 * standard platform-specific directory, though this is not recommended
906 * since the wrong module may be found.
908 * For example, calling g_module_build_path() on a Linux system with a
909 * @directory of `/lib` and a @module_name of "mylibrary" will return
910 * `/lib/libmylibrary.so`. On a Windows system, using `\Windows` as the
911 * directory it will return `\Windows\mylibrary.dll`.
913 * Returns: the complete path of the module, including the standard library
914 * prefix and suffix. This should be freed when no longer needed
