25.4.5 Runtime Loading of DLLs

DLLs built using the recipe described in this chapter can be loaded at runtime in at least three different ways:

• Using the Cygwin emulation of the POSIX dlopen / dlclose / dlsym API. Note however that the emulation is broken up until at least version b20.1, and dlopen(NULL) doesn't work at all.
• Using the Windows LoadLibrary / FreeLibrary / GetProcAddress API.
• Using libltdl, which is covered in more detail in Using GNU libltdl .
