## Detailed Description

Represents a DLL or shared object

Definition at line 18 of file dyn_load.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Dynamically_Loaded_Library()

Botan::Dynamically_Loaded_Library::Dynamically_Loaded_Library | ( | const std::string & | lib_name | ) |

Load a DLL (or fail with an exception)

Parameters

  lib_name | name or path to a library

If you don't use a full path, the search order will be defined by whatever the system linker does by default. Always using fully qualified pathnames can help prevent code injection attacks (eg via manipulation of LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux)
