libloading

NOTE bindings are currently quite barebones (i.e. only allow opening a library and loading a symbol from it) and should get expanded over time.

The documentation can be found here.

This library is a safer (compared to the deprecated dynamic_lib) binding to platform’s dynamic library loading utilities. The most important safety guarantee by this library is prevention of dangling-Symbols that may occur after a Library is unloaded. Due to several Rust features used in the API, these guarantees have no usability cost.

Note, that this library is not a drop-in replacement for the deprecated dynamic_lib. Many dubious APIs (notably, library search path modification) were prunned and string arguments take types that match conventions and system APIs better.
