Description

Structure xmlModule

Structure xmlModule
struct _xmlModule {

}

Enum xmlModuleOption

Enum xmlModuleOption {
    XML_MODULE_LAZY = 1 : lazy binding
    XML_MODULE_LOCAL = 2 : local binding
}

Function: xmlModuleClose

int	xmlModuleClose			(xmlModulePtr module)

The close operations unload the associated module and free the data associated to the module.

Function: xmlModuleFree

int	xmlModuleFree			(xmlModulePtr module)

The free operations free the data associated to the module but does not unload the associated shared library which may still be in use.

Function: xmlModuleOpen

xmlModulePtr	xmlModuleOpen		(const char * name, 
					 int options)

Opens a module/shared library given its name or path NOTE: that due to portability issues, behaviour can only be guaranteed with @name using ASCII. We canot guarantee that an UTF-8 string would work, which is why name is a const char * and not a const xmlChar * . TODO: options are not yet implemented.

Function: xmlModuleSymbol

int	xmlModuleSymbol			(xmlModulePtr module, 
					 const char * name, 
					 void ** symbol)

Lookup for a symbol address in the given module NOTE: that due to portability issues, behaviour can only be guaranteed with @name using ASCII. We canot guarantee that an UTF-8 string would work, which is why name is a const char * and not a const xmlChar * .
