/* ** $Id: loadlib.c,v 1.2 2003-12-11 16:53:32 pixel Exp $ ** Dynamic library loader for Lua ** See Copyright Notice in lua.h * * This Lua library exports a single function, called loadlib, which is * called from Lua as loadlib(lib,init), where lib is the full name of the * library to be loaded (including the complete path) and init is the name * of a function to be called after the library is loaded. Typically, this * function will register other functions, thus making the complete library * available to Lua. The init function is *not* automatically called by * loadlib. Instead, loadlib returns the init function as a Lua function * that the client can call when it thinks is appropriate. In the case of * errors, loadlib returns nil and two strings describing the error. * The first string is supplied by the operating system; it should be * informative and useful for error messages. The second string is "open", * "init", or "absent" to identify the error and is meant to be used for * making decisions without having to look into the first string (whose * format is system-dependent). * * This module contains an implementation of loadlib for Unix systems that * have dlfcn, an implementation for Windows, and a stub for other systems. * See the list at the end of this file for some links to available * implementations of dlfcn and interfaces to other native dynamic loaders * on top of which loadlib could be implemented. * */ #include "lua.h" #include "lauxlib.h" #include "lualib.h" #undef LOADLIB #ifdef USE_DLOPEN #define LOADLIB /* * This is an implementation of loadlib based on the dlfcn interface. * The dlfcn interface is available in Linux, SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD, * NetBSD, AIX 4.2, HPUX 11, and probably most other Unix flavors, at least * as an emulation layer on top of native functions. */ #include static int loadlib(lua_State *L) { const char *path=luaL_checkstring(L,1); const char *init=luaL_checkstring(L,2); void *lib=dlopen(path,RTLD_NOW); if (lib!=NULL) { lua_CFunction f=(lua_CFunction) dlsym(lib,init); if (f!=NULL) { lua_pushlightuserdata(L,lib); lua_pushcclosure(L,f,1); return 1; } } /* else return appropriate error messages */ lua_pushnil(L); lua_pushstring(L,dlerror()); lua_pushstring(L,(lib!=NULL) ?
