Libtool provides a small library, called `libltdl', that aims at hiding the various difficulties of dlopening libraries from programmers. It consists of a header-file and a small C source file that can be distributed with applications that need dlopening functionality. On some platforms, whose dynamic linkers are too limited for a simple implementation of `libltdl' services, it requires GNU DLD, or it will only emulate dynamic linking with libtool's dlpreopening mechanism.
libltdl supports currently the following dynamic linking mechanisms:
dlopen (Solaris, Linux and various BSD flavors)
shl_load (HP-UX)
LoadLibrary (Win16 and Win32)
load_add_on (BeOS)
