LoadLibrary

Load a dynamic library and return a handle to it.

Declaration

Source position: dynlibs.pas line 31

  function LoadLibrary(const Name: RawByteString) : TLibHandle;
  function LoadLibrary(const Name: UnicodeString) : TLibHandle;

Description

LoadLibrary loads a dynamic library in file Name and returns a handle to it. If the library cannot be loaded, NilHandle is returned.

No assumptions should be made about the location of the loaded library if a relative pathname is specified. The behaviour is dependent on the platform. Therefore it is best to specify an absolute pathname if possible.

Errors

On error, NilHandle is returned.
