Detailed Description

Loading modules under linux.

Copyright

BSD License (see LICENSE.md or https://www.libelektra.org)

The name of the module will be libname. A .so will be appended. This file will be loaded.

The path were the plugins are located, e.g. /usr/src/elektra need to be added with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The reason is that only LD_LIBRARY_PATH also loads libraries which are seen by symlink only. That feature is needed for libelektra-default.

The buildsystem makes sure that dlfcn.h exists.
