# dynlink

Cross-platform dynamic linking.

This library provides a platform-independent API that allows dynamic linking
shared objects, and use the data and functions they contains.

## Usage

With this library shared object functions can be used.

```rs
use std::error;

use dynlink::api::Handle;

// sum.c
//
// int sum_of(int a, int b) {
//    return a + b;
// }

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn error::Error>> {
    unsafe {
        let handle = Handle::open("libsum.so")?;
        let sum_fn = handle.lookup::<extern "C" fn(i32, i32) -> i32>("sum_of")?;

        println!("{}", sum_fn.apply(|f| f(1, 1)));

        Ok(())
    }
}
```

Platform-specific APIs are also available in the `platform` module.

```rs
#![cfg(target_os = "linux")]

use std::error;

use dynlink::platform::{PlatformHandle, RTLD_LAZY, RTLD_LOCAL};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn error::Error>> {
    unsafe {
        let handle = PlatformHandle::openc(c"libsum.so", RTLD_LOCAL | RTLD_LAZY)?;
        let sum_fn = handle.lookupc::<extern "C" fn(i32, i32) -> i32>(c"sum_of")?;
        println!("{}", sum_fn.apply(|f| f(1, 1)));

        Ok(())
    }
}
```
