//! A memory-safer wrapper around system dynamic library loading primitives.
//!
//! Using this library allows loading [dynamic libraries](struct.Library.html) (also known as
//! shared libraries) and use functions & global variables contained within the libraries.
//!
//! `libloading` crate exposes a cross-platform interface to load a library and utilize its
//! contents, but little is done to paper over the differences in behaviour between different
//! platforms. The API documentation strives to document such differences on the best-effort basis.
//!
//! Platform specific APIs are also available in the [`os`](crate::os) module. These APIs are more
//! flexible but less safe.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Add a dependency on this library to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! libloading = "0.7"
//! ```
//!
//! Then inside your code:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! fn call_dynamic() -> Result<u32, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     unsafe {
//!         let lib = libloading::Library::new("/path/to/liblibrary.so")?;
//!         let func: libloading::Symbol<unsafe extern fn() -> u32> = lib.get(b"my_func")?;
//!         Ok(func())
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The compiler will ensure that the loaded `function` will not outlive the `Library` it comes
//! from, preventing a common class of issues.

    ///
    /// * A library filename;
    /// * Absolute path to the library;
    /// * Relative (to the current working directory) path to the library.
    ///
    /// # Safety
    ///
    /// When a library is loaded initialization routines contained within the library are executed.
    /// For the purposes of safety, execution of these routines is conceptually the same calling an
    /// unknown foreign function and may impose arbitrary requirements on the caller for the call
    /// to be sound.
    ///
    /// Additionally, the callers of this function must also ensure that execution of the
    /// termination routines contained within the library is safe as well. These routines may be
    /// executed when the library is unloaded.
    ///
    /// # Thread-safety
    ///
    /// The implementation strives to be as MT-safe as sanely possible, however on certain
    /// platforms the underlying error-handling related APIs not always MT-safe. This library
    /// shares these limitations on those platforms. In particular, on certain UNIX targets
    /// `dlerror` is not MT-safe, resulting in garbage error messages in certain MT-scenarios.
    ///
    /// Calling this function from multiple threads is not MT-safe if used in conjunction with
    /// library filenames and the library search path is modified (`SetDllDirectory` function on
    /// Windows, `{DY,}LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable on UNIX).
    ///
    /// # Platform-specific behaviour
    ///
    /// When a plain library filename is supplied, locations where library is searched for is
    /// platform specific and cannot be adjusted in a portable manner. See documentation for
    /// the platform specific [`os::unix::Library::new`] and [`os::windows::Library::new`] methods
    /// for further information on library lookup behaviour.
    ///
    /// If the `filename` specifies a library filename without path and with extension omitted,
    /// `.dll` extension is implicitly added on Windows.
    ///
    /// # Tips
    ///
    /// Distributing your dynamic libraries under a filename common to all platforms (e.g.
    /// `awesome.module`) allows to avoid code which has to account for platform’s conventional
    /// library filenames.
    ///
    /// Strive to specify an absolute or at least a relative path to your library, unless
    /// system-wide libraries are being loaded. Platform-dependent library search locations
    /// combined with various quirks related to path-less filenames may cause flakiness in
    /// programs.
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// ```no_run
    /// # use ::libloading::Library;
    /// // Any of the following are valid.
    /// unsafe {
    ///     let _ = Library::new("/path/to/awesome.module").unwrap();
    ///     let _ = Library::new("../awesome.module").unwrap();
    ///     let _ = Library::new("libsomelib.so.1").unwrap();
    /// }
    /// ```

    /// Get a pointer to function or static variable by symbol name.
    ///
    /// The `symbol` may not contain any null bytes, with an exception of last byte. Providing a
    /// null terminated `symbol` may help to avoid an allocation.
    ///
    /// Symbol is interpreted as-is; no mangling is done. This means that symbols like `x::y` are
    /// most likely invalid.
    ///
    /// # Safety
    ///
    /// Users of this API must specify the correct type of the function or variable loaded. Using a
    /// `Symbol` with a wrong type is undefined.
    ///
    /// # Platform-specific behaviour
    ///
    /// Implementation of thread local variables is extremely platform specific and uses of such
    /// variables that work on e.g. Linux may have unintended behaviour on other targets.
    ///
    /// On POSIX implementations where the `dlerror` function is not confirmed to be MT-safe (such
    /// as FreeBSD), this function will unconditionally return an error when the underlying `dlsym`
    /// call returns a null pointer. There are rare situations where `dlsym` returns a genuine null
    /// pointer without it being an error. If loading a null pointer is something you care about,
    /// consider using the [`os::unix::Library::get_singlethreaded`] call.
    ///

    ///     Library::new("/path/to/awesome.module").unwrap()
