The \fIsymbols\fR array, if non-NULL, -supplies a set of names of symbols (typically functions) that must be resolved -from the library and which will be stored in the array indicated by -\fIprocPtrs\fR. If any of the symbols is not resolved, the loading of the file -will fail with an error message left in the interpreter (if that is non-NULL). -The result of \fBTcl_LoadFile\fR is a standard Tcl error code. The library may -be unloaded with \fBTcl_FSUnloadFile\fR. -.PP -\fBTcl_FindSymbol\fR locates a symbol in a loaded library and returns it. If -the symbol cannot be found, it returns NULL and sets an error message in the -given \fIinterp\fR (if that is non-NULL). Note that it is unsafe to use this -operation on a handle that has been passed to \fBTcl_FSUnloadFile\fR. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -Tcl_FSLoadFile(3), Tcl_FSUnloadFile(3), load(n), unload(n) -.SH KEYWORDS -binary code, loading, shared library -'\" Local Variables: -'\" mode: nroff -'\" fill-column: 78 -'\" End: |
