Dld

3.1 Initializing Dld

The function dld_init must be called before any other dld functions.

Function: int dld_init (const char *progname)

where path is the name of the currently running program, as given by argv[0].

This function initializes internal data structures of dld and loads into memory symbol definitions of the executing process. By doing so, other dynamically loaded functions can reference symbols already defined or share functions already exist in the executing process.

dld_init returns 0 when successful; otherwise, it returns an error code that is non-zero (see section Definition of Error Codes).
