Dld is a library package of C functions that performs dynamic
link editing. Programs that use dld can add compiled object
code to or remove such code from a process anytime during its execution.
Loading modules, searching libraries, resolving external references, and
allocating storage for global and static data structures are all
performed at run time.
Dld is now available for VAX, Sun 3, SPARCstation, Sequent Symmetry,
Atari ST, and Linux.
This text describes how the dld functions can be called and some
technical details that you should be aware of. For the internals of dld
and sample applications, please refer to An Approach to Genuine
Dynamic Linking, Software--Practice and Experience, Vol. 21(4), 375-390
(April 1991). An early draft of that paper is included with the dld
distribution.
