Method: Fiddle.dlopen

Defined in:
lib/fiddle.rb

.dlopen(library) ⇒ Object

call-seq: dlopen(library) => Fiddle::Handle

Creates a new handler that opens library, and returns an instance of Fiddle::Handle.

If nil is given for the library, Fiddle::Handle::DEFAULT is used, which is the equivalent to RTLD_DEFAULT. See man 3 dlopen for more.

lib = Fiddle.dlopen(nil)

The default is dependent on OS, and provide a handle for all libraries already loaded. For example, in most cases you can use this to access libc functions, or ruby functions like rb_str_new.

See Fiddle::Handle.new for more.
