-\modulesynopsis{Call C functions in shared objects.}
-
-The \module{dl} module defines an interface to the
-\cfunction{dlopen()} function, which is the most common interface on
-\UNIX{} platforms for handling dynamically linked libraries. It allows
-the program to call arbitrary functions in such a library.
-
-\warning{The \module{dl} module bypasses the Python type system and 
-error handling. If used incorrectly it may cause segmentation faults,
-crashes or other incorrect behaviour.}
-
-\note{This module will not work unless
-\code{sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) == sizeof(char *)}
-If this is not the case, \exception{SystemError} will be raised on
-import.}
-
-The \module{dl} module defines the following function:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{open}{name\optional{, mode\code{ = RTLD_LAZY}}}
-Open a shared object file, and return a handle. Mode
-signifies late binding (\constant{RTLD_LAZY}) or immediate binding
-(\constant{RTLD_NOW}). Default is \constant{RTLD_LAZY}. Note that some
-systems do not support \constant{RTLD_NOW}.
-
-Return value is a \class{dlobject}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-The \module{dl} module defines the following constants:
-
-\begin{datadesc}{RTLD_LAZY}
-Useful as an argument to \function{open()}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{RTLD_NOW}
-Useful as an argument to \function{open()}.  Note that on systems
-which do not support immediate binding, this constant will not appear
-in the module. For maximum portability, use \function{hasattr()} to
-determine if the system supports immediate binding.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-The \module{dl} module defines the following exception:
-
-\begin{excdesc}{error}
-Exception raised when an error has occurred inside the dynamic loading
-and linking routines.
-\end{excdesc}
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> import dl, time
->>> a=dl.open('/lib/libc.so.6')
->>> a.call('time'), time.time()
-(929723914, 929723914.498)
-\end{verbatim}
-
-This example was tried on a Debian GNU/Linux system, and is a good
-example of the fact that using this module is usually a bad alternative.
-
-\subsection{Dl Objects \label{dl-objects}}
-
-Dl objects, as returned by \function{open()} above, have the
-following methods:
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[dl]{close}{}
-Free all resources, except the memory.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[dl]{sym}{name}
-Return the pointer for the function named \var{name}, as a number, if
-it exists in the referenced shared object, otherwise \code{None}. This
-is useful in code like:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> if a.sym('time'): 
-...     a.call('time')
-... else: 
-...     time.time()
-\end{verbatim}
-
-(Note that this function will return a non-zero number, as zero is the
-\NULL{} pointer)
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[dl]{call}{name\optional{, arg1\optional{, arg2\ldots}}}
-Call the function named \var{name} in the referenced shared object.
-The arguments must be either Python integers, which will be 
-passed as is, Python strings, to which a pointer will be passed, 
-or \code{None}, which will be passed as \NULL.  Note that 
-strings should only be passed to functions as \ctype{const char*}, as
-Python will not like its string mutated.
-
-There must be at most 10 arguments, and arguments not given will be
-treated as \code{None}. The function's return value must be a C
-\ctype{long}, which is a Python integer.
-\end{methoddesc}
