Dynamic Libraries (`DYNAMIC_LIB`)

The DYNAMIC_LIB feature provides support for dynamic libraries within the ChorusOS operating system. These libraries are loaded and mapped within the actor address space at execution time. Symbol resolution is performed at library load time. This feature also enables a running actor to ask for a library to be loaded and installed within its address space, and then to resolve symbols within this library. The feature handles dependencies between libraries.

The DYNAMIC_LIB feature API is summarized in the following table.

Function	Description
`dladdr()`	Translate address into symbolic information
`dlclose()`	Close a dynamic library
`dlerror()`	Get diagnostic information
`dlopen()`	Gain access to a dynamic library file
`dlsym()`	Get the address of a symbol in a dymanic library

For details, see DYNAMIC_LIB(5FEA).
